Options for path in the context menu

Curve type

Depending on the selection, movements or changes of direction are either smooth or hard. You can find out more about the curve type in the Manual input chapter.

Equalize

Length of time between the motion marks is matched to the distance between the marks, so that the motion path is smooth.

Simplify ...

Smooth the path or remove marks. With increment 1, only the start and end points remain, increment 2 removes every second mark and so on.
(For paths with a uniform time distribution, equalization does not need to be selected separately).

Adjust duration ...

Shortens or lengthens the duration of the motion path to a preferred length in seconds or percent.

Reverse

The motion path is reversed in relation to the total duration of the object.

Reverse motion

The motion path is reversed in relation to the duration of the movement.

Mirror horizontally

Mirrors the motion path horizontally.

Mirror vertically

Mirrors the motion path vertically.

Rotation by 90° CW

Rotates the motion path by 90° clockwise.

Rotation by 90° CCW

Rotates the motion path by 90° counterclockwise.

Rotation by 180°

Rotates the motion path by 180° clockwise.

Rotation by ...

Rotates the motion path to any angle.
