Curve Tool: Expanding or Contracting Points

It is often useful to expand or contract a range of points with respect to either time (or master position) or position, such that the ratio of the times or positions between the points does not change. The Curve Tool offers this feature.

To expand or contract a range of points:

  1. Select a range of points by creating a selection box, as described in Selecting Points.

  2. Drag one of the eight resize handles on the selection box.

The opposite resize handle will be the anchor. For example, dragging the right-center resize handle will keep the left-most point in the selection constant, and dragging the top-left resize handle will keep the bottom-most point's position constant and the right-most point's time (or master position) constant (assuming time is shown horizontally).
