Curve Tool: Point Properties

Each point in a curve has the following properties:

Property	Description
Time	The time or master position for the point.
Position	The slave position for the point.
Velocity	Each point can have either a fixed or dynamic velocity. By default all points except end points have dynamic velocities, which means that RMCWin computes the best velocity for the point to yield the smoothest overall curve. End points default to have a fixed velocity of zero. However, if you need a point to have a specific velocity, you can change it to be a fixed velocity.
Interval Type	This property defines what shape the interval that follows this point will have. If you select Cubic, then it will be defined by a cubic function. If you select Linear, then it will be a straight line from this point to the next. By default all intervals are Cubic.

Note: Linear intervals and fixed velocities are not available in Standard curves. See Standard vs. Enhanced Curves for details.

To view or change point properties, use the Point Properties dialog box:

Select the point or points whose properties you wish to view or edit, as described in Selecting Points.
On the View menu, click Point Properties.
You can also double-click on a point, right-click on a point and then click Properties on the shortcut menu, or press ALT+ENTER or ENTER to open the Point Properties dialog box.

Edit the properties if you wish.
If you are editing a single point and want to adjust all following points by the same amount the selected point's time (or master position) and position change, then set the Shift Following Points check box.

You can also change a point's properties in the Spreadsheet view; see Spreadsheet View and Editing Cells for details.
