Autosnapping and Markers

By default, a newly-created marker snaps to the closest frame. Moving markers with the mouse also snaps them to the current frame. You can change this behavior by selecting Options > Autosnap Markers > None or by selecting Options > Autosnap Markers > Field from the contextual menu.


Creating Animation Splines

Animation splines are created automatically when you keyframe a parameter in the Inspector or the Keyframes Editor. However, you can create an animation spline without first having to add a keyframe.


To create a spline:

— Right-click on the parameter to be animated in the Inspector, and choose Animate from the contextual menu.

Selecting Animate from the contextual menu connects the parameter to the default spline type. This is usually a Bézier Spline unless you change the default spline in the Defaults panel of the Fusion Preferences.

Deleting Animation Splines

To remove an animation spline from a parameter, right-click on the control in the Inspector and select Remove [tool parameter’s name] from the contextual menu. Removing a spline from a parameter only deletes the spline if no other tool in the composition is connected to the same spline at that time.
