Time And Value Editors
The Time and Value buttons are each accompanied by two edit boxes that can be used to enter precise values for the selected keyframes. Clicking on the buttons will switch between three modes, each described below.
Time Buttons
Time
The text box shows the position of the current frame in time. Entering a new frame number into the edit box will move that key to the specified frame. If no keyframes are selected, or if multiple keyframes are selected, the edit box is empty and nothing can be entered into it.
Time Offset
By clicking once on the button to switch to Time Offset mode, the text box to the right can now be used to offset the frame where the selected keyframes exist. An offset of either positive or negative values can be entered. For example, entering an offset of 2 will move a selected keyframe from frame 10 to 12.
Time Scale
Clicking on the button a second time will switch to Scale mode. The selected keyframes will be scaled by whatever value is entered here. For example, entering a scale of 2 will move a selected keyframe from frame 10 to 20.
Value Buttons
Value
The text box shows the value of the currently selected keyframes. Entering a new number into the edit box will change the value of the keyframe. If more than one keyframe is selected, the values of the keyframes are averaged. Entering a new value will cause all keyframes to adopt that value.
Value Offset
Clicking once on the button will enable the Offset mode. Entering a new number in the edit box will cause the selected keyframe's values to be moved by the amount specified. For example, entering a value of -2 will change a value from 10 to 8.
Value Scale
Clicking a second time on the button will enable the Scale mode. Entering a new value will cause the selected keyframe's values to be scaled or multiplied by the specified amount. For example, entering a value of 0.5 will change a keyframe's value from 10 to 5.
