1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,545
In the last module, we went over the Dope Sheet,
2
00:00:04,545 --> 00:00:04,999
keyframes,
3
00:00:05,000 --> 00:00:09,199
and how to manipulate animation data by modifying these keyframes or by
4
00:00:09,199 --> 00:00:11,999
changing the nature of the animation clips themselves.
5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,894
In this module, I'd like to show you the Curve Editor.
6
00:00:14,894 --> 00:00:17,631
The Curve Editor is available in most software packages and
7
00:00:17,631 --> 00:00:19,526
is common in most animation software.
8
00:00:19,526 --> 00:00:22,684
We use the Curve Editor as a better source of
9
00:00:22,684 --> 00:00:24,333
visual feedback about our animation.
10
00:00:24,333 --> 00:00:27,999
It allows us to modify the animation data without having to
11
00:00:27,999 --> 00:00:31,272
worry too much about technically entering numbers into
12
00:00:31,272 --> 00:00:33,999
properties and key framing by hand.
13
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,944
The Curve Editor is a more fluid,
14
00:00:35,944 --> 00:00:39,000
artistic way of getting a feel for how your animation flows.
15
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:44,000
Let's get started by taking a look at the different parts of the Curve Editor.
16
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:45,666
This is the parameter tree.
17
00:00:45,666 --> 00:00:50,000
This is almost exactly the same as it is in the Dope Sheet.
18
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:54,105
Here we just see a visual list of all of the nodes and
19
00:00:54,105 --> 00:00:56,000
animated properties that those nodes contain.
20
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,423
Now if I go over to the Node Graph,
21
00:00:58,423 --> 00:01:01,384
you'll see that I have a very simple Read Node set
22
00:01:01,384 --> 00:01:02,999
up with a very simple Transform.
23
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,449
This Transform, if I double-click on it,
24
00:01:05,449 --> 00:01:09,299
just has some very simple keyframe animation in the X and
25
00:01:09,299 --> 00:01:12,058
the Y value of its translate property,
26
00:01:12,058 --> 00:01:16,999
and you'll see those keyframes indicated on the timeline as blue ticks.
27
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:22,333
Now if we go down to the Curve Editor, you'll notice the Y value is highlighted,
28
00:01:22,333 --> 00:01:23,999
but not the X value.
29
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,199
I did his on purpose specifically to show you how only the
30
00:01:28,199 --> 00:01:30,999
selected values get curves in the Curve Editor.
31
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:33,823
The highlighted value will display the selected curve.
32
00:01:33,823 --> 00:01:37,500
You'll notice that the curve has little dots along it
33
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:40,000
where the animation changes direction.
34
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,000
These are your keyframes.
35
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,733
You can select them by left-mouse button dragging
36
00:01:45,733 --> 00:01:49,000
or marquee selecting over them, like this.
37
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,333
This is the same way we selected keyframes in the Dope Sheet.
38
00:01:52,333 --> 00:01:53,999
This is the current frame indicator.
39
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:56,000
This bar, just like the Dope Sheet,
40
00:01:56,000 --> 00:01:59,142
shows us what frame we are currently on in our timeline,
41
00:01:59,142 --> 00:02:03,888
and in our Viewer Panel, and down here we have an expressions field.
42
00:02:03,888 --> 00:02:07,999
The expressions field is a powerful friend for generating procedural animation,
43
00:02:07,999 --> 00:02:08,666
like CameraShakes,
44
00:02:08,666 --> 00:02:13,500
or if you want a value to wobble or you want to generate random noise,
45
00:02:13,500 --> 00:02:17,000
but let's put that to the side for right now and I'll come back
46
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
to expressions at the end of this module.
47
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,043
Right now I just want you to know that this is the Curve Editor,
48
00:02:22,043 --> 00:02:26,210
and it has a parameter tree where you can find all of your animated values,
49
00:02:26,210 --> 00:02:29,894
it has a curve representing the animation for those values,
50
00:02:29,894 --> 00:02:34,238
and you can select and view your keyframes on that curve.
51
00:02:34,238 --> 00:02:37,880
You know what frame you're on with this bar,
52
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:40,500
and we'll go into expressions a little later.
53
00:02:40,500 --> 00:02:41,500
In the next clip,
54
00:02:41,500 --> 00:02:46,500
we'll take a look at different ways to view animation in the Curve Editor,
55
00:02:46,500 --> 00:02:51,500
reframing, zooming in and out,
56
00:02:51,500 --> 00:02:58,500
and hiding and un-hiding different animation curves.
