To access the Setup menu:

Use the buttons under PreType and PostType to set keyframe extrapolation. See Setting Extrapolation.

Reversing and Inverting Keyframes Top

Use the Reverse Selected Curves and Invert Selected Curves options to modify your keyframes for selected curves. See Editing Keyframes.

Autoscrolling in the Channel Editor Top

You can set up the system to scroll automatically when the positioner plays off the far right edge of the Channel Editor (or the far left edge when playing backward).

To enable autoscrolling:
Locking Keyframe Movement Top

When the Lock Keyframe Movement option is on, you can drag a keyframe vertically only. By default, this option is enabled.

To lock keyframe movement:
  1. In the Setup menu, enable Lock Keyframe Movement.

  2. You can temporarily override locked movement by holding down the Shift key and dragging the keyframe horizontally. If you want to move the keyframe without any restrictions, disable the Lock Keyframe Movement button.
