8. With all the keyframes selected, select the Move tool (press t) and click and drag in
the Curve Window to move the entire motion curve up, as shown in Figure 6.50.
You??™ll see a faint line beneath the curve you just moved. This is the footprint that
tells you where your curve was.
Figure 6.50 When the Footprints option is enabled, moving one or more keyframes reveals
the footprint.
9. Go back to the Curve Bin, right-click again on the Rotation.P channel, and
choose Pick Up Footprint or Backtrack, or choose one of these commands from
the Footprints drop-down list. (Note the keyboard shortcut for each command
on its respective button.)
Picking up the footprint removes it from the Curve Window. Selecting Backtrack
resets any channel adjustment to the footprint position.
Footprints provide a simple way for you to keep track of what you??™re doing and where
you??™ve been while working in the Graph Editor. It is easy to make too many changes and
lose your place when adjusting various channels. The Footprint option helps you organize
your steps by enabling you to retrace your steps if you need to.
Using the CurvesTab
At the bottom of the Graph Editor interface is the Curves tab.
