6. Select just the Camera Position.Z channel in the Curve Bin. This automatically
deselects the Light Position.Z channel.
7. Select Move mode and move up the last keyframe.
You??™ll see the Light Position.Z channel in the background. You??™ve created similar
motions on the Z-axis for both the camera and light, but toward the end of the
motion, the value has changed. Figure 6.58 shows the adjusted channel.

Note
Figure 6.58 One keyframe in a pair of matching channels is adjusted.
A more realistic example of matching curves is a formation of flying jets. Each jet flies in
unison, swooping, looping, and twisting in perfect sync. After the formation, one or two
jets might need to fly off from the pack.Using the preceding example, you can easily select
the appropriate channel and adjust the value at the desired keyframe.
It??™s easy to see where you would move the jet in Layout, but in the Graph Editor, translating
the visual motion to a value might take a little more work.Don??™t worry; this next exercise
helps you adjust values in the Graph Editor.
