In the Motion Dock, enter Edit layout and double-click Curvy’s slot. You can also right-click its slot and choose Module settings. Leave layout mode after closing settings to use Curvy again.
| Setting | Default | Behavior |
|---|---|---|
| Apply as you edit | On | Apply completed curve edits to selected keys. Turn it off to change keys only through Apply or the explicit Separate action. |
Use this setting when you want to try changes on the timeline as you work. A completed drag, submitted number entry, chosen favorite or classic, or Flip can apply the new curve.
Dragging updates the card during the gesture and applies when you release. Each completed application is one undo step in After Effects.
Copy, hovering a swatch and clicking the card to preview never change the keys. With no keys selected, you can shape and store curves without applying anything or getting a warning.
Turn the setting off when preparing curves or browsing favorites while keeping the selected keys unchanged. Click Apply when ready.
