Applying Bezier interpolation graphically

One way to apply Bezier interpolation is to use the Keyframe Interpolation dialog box. See Changing the interpolation method. However, when you are using the mouse intensively on a Value graph or motion path, you may prefer to apply Bezier interpolation graphically.

To enable Bezier direction handles graphically:

1. Using the selection tool, do one of the following:
• If the current keyframe interpolation is Linear, press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) as you click the keyframe to change it to Auto Bezier.
• If the current interpolation is Auto Bezier, drag one of the direction handles. Direction lines appear, visually connecting the direction handles to the keyframe and indicating that you have changed the interpolation to Continuous Bezier.

An Auto Bezier keyframe (left) changes to a Continuous Bezier keyframe (right).
2. Press Ctrl (Windows) or Command (Mac OS) as you drag one of the direction handles. This changes the interpolation to Bezier. Each direction handle now moves independently.
