You can transform a curve or a group of keyframes by using the Bake function. This can be useful if you want to change an extrapolated cycle curve into a normal curve, with keyframes created along the cycle. You can also use the Bake function to remove the dependence of a curve linked to another curve with an expression.

To bake a cycled curve:

1. Select a curve that has a cycle extrapolation applied to it.
2. Set the current frame to the last frame that you want to be baked.
3. From the Curve Functions box in the Keyframe tab, select Bake.

   
   

4. In the Curve Value field, enter a bake value.

   Use a large number to simplify the curve or group of keyframes. Use a small number to increase the number of keyframes. The value in the Curve Value field returns to zero after you have finished baking.
