Parameter Type
| Global. For more information, see Global Versus Keyframeable Parameters. | ||
Description
| Smooths the position changes between keyframes. Spline helps to reproduce the natural motion path of an object through 3D space. When you enable the Spline parameter and click the Outline/Path button in the Effect Editor, the wire-frame line that represents the path between keyframes appears as a smoothly curved line. Without Spline, moving objects follow the most direct path between keyframed positions, resulting in a "mechanical" feel. | ||
Use of Controls
| Enable button |  | Click the Enable button to turn the Spline parameter category on or off. The button is pink when the parameter category is on and gray when it is off. |
Outline/Path button |  | Click the Outline/Path button at the bottom of the Effect Editor to view the effect's outline and path as a wire frame. You can then adjust keyframe positions directly in the Effect Preview monitor. If Spline is enabled, the effect's path will be smoothly curved. | |
