Flipping Channels and Keyframes

Negate flips a channel or a group of keyframes vertically. Reverse flips a channel or a group of keyframes horizontally.

Typically, you reverse or flip keyframes so that you can create symmetry with an animation. For example, use Reverse on an image that is warping from a sphere to a flat plane so that it then goes from a flat plane back to a sphere again. Perform these functions in the Animation Curve window.

To reverse a channel or group of keyframes:

1. In the Animation menu, click to display the Curves.

2. In the Animation Channel Editor, select a curve or group of keyframes.

3. Click Reverse.

   

   The selection is flipped vertically.

To negate a channel or group of keyframes:

1. In the Animation menu, click to display the Curves.

2. Select a curve or group of keyframes.

3. Click Negate.

   

   The selection is flipped horizontally.
