Click the number readout on the card, or right-click the card and choose Type numbers…. Enter a curve and press Enter to keep it. Escape cancels. Small cards open a Numbers popover instead of an inline field.
Flat handles show two influence percentages. Other curves show four cubic-bezier coordinates.
Submitting valid numbers is a curve edit. With Apply as you edit on, it also applies to the selected keys.
Accepted input
| Input | Meaning |
|---|---|
80 | Flat handles with 80% influence at both ends. |
80 60 | 80% outgoing influence at the start, 60% incoming influence at the end. |
0.34, 1.56, 0.64, 1 | Four coordinates in the order x1, y1, x2, y2. |
cubic-bezier(0.34, 1.56, 0.64, 1) | The same curve in CSS notation. |
linear, ease, ease-in, ease-out, ease-in-out | Standard CSS timing curves. |
Numbers may be separated by spaces, commas or middle dots. A trailing semicolon is accepted. Influence input must be from 0.1 to 100. In four-coordinate input, x values must be from 0 to 1 and y values from -1 to 2.
An invalid entry nudges the field and leaves it open. The held curve stays unchanged. Use one, two or four numbers, or one of the accepted CSS forms.
Read the coordinates
Each pair describes a handle’s time and value. The fixed endpoints are (0, 0) and (1, 1). Values outside the vertical 0 to 1 range allow anticipation or overshoot. Position has an extra constraint until its dimensions are separated.
The compact readout rounds values for display. Narrow cards can omit leading zeros, so .34 means 0.34.
Copy as CSS
Right-click the card and choose Copy as CSS to put the held curve on the system clipboard as cubic-bezier(...). Values are rounded to three decimal places.
The same action on a favorite or classic copies that swatch’s curve. Curvy’s Copy tile is different. It reads easing from After Effects keys and stores it in the card.
