We talked
about ???in-betweening??? earlier.Using Copy Time Slice enables
you to copy the settings LightWave has calculated for any
interpolated frame and copy them to any other frame or
keyframe on that curve.
You can also use the keyboard shortcuts for Copy
Time Slice: Ctrl+c for copy, and Ctrl+v for paste.This is
the same for Macintosh and PC systems.

Figure 6.40 The Copy
Time Slice command,
accessed from the Keys
drop-down list, captures
the channel values for
whichever frame is selected
with the timeline slider.

Multicurve Editing
But wait! There??™s more! You can also use multicurve editing when you want to edit multiple
curves simultaneously or use curves of different items as references. By selecting the
desired curves in the Curve Bin (as demonstrated earlier in this chapter), you can edit
them together as one in the Curve Window.You easily can drag and drop curves from the
Scene Display window (in the bottom-left zone of the Graph Editor) into the Curve Bin.
For example, you might combine the Position.X of an object with the Rotation.Y of a light,
and add in the Scale.
