Keyframe Function

Keyframes is a type of Function Function that maps a number (percentage, time, etc.) to a value Read More based on Keyframe Function key with associated interpolation data Read More -based interpolation.
A keyframe function is a collection of points, called Keyframe Function key with associated interpolation data Read More , or keys.
Those points specify a value the function will take a certain input position. That input would be time, in the case of Animation. But it can also be a percentage: imagine exposing a controller for the user, or mapping it to a fader on a hardware device. You would want the input (a given value, between 0% and 100%) to be remapped to something else (interpolate between a green and a red background).
Keyframe functions are very useful, because they allow you to define a number of intermediate points, and therefore to interpolate between a lot of different values between the beginning and the end of the functions. They offer a lot of control.
Keyframes are mostly used inside Timeline Timelines allow for easy playback, cutting, and editing of video layers, as well as animation of layers and their parameters, editable with the Timeline Editor. Read More to define temporal animations, but they also can be used in for defining other types of functions such as ObjectAny object inside Smode or element-dependent curve parameters such as in Point Attributes Define points color, scale and rotation functions Read More .
To use a keyframe function you'll have to use the Function Editor The editor allows you to manipulate every Function in Smode Read More :


If you want to animate a 2d or 3d parameter with curves, then you'll have to separate dimensions. To achieve that, change the track function from "key" to "split" with the function selector (check on the image above). Then just go in curves view.
