Show expressions and the expression graph
In Graph Editor mode, the single expression
field appears as a resizable text box at the bottom of the Graph
Editor and shows only the expression for the selected property.
To show multiple expression fields simultaneously, the Timeline
panel must be in layer bar mode.
To toggle between
layer bar mode and Graph Editor mode, press Shift+F3.
To toggle between
layer bar mode and Graph Editor mode, press Shift+F3.- To show the expression field in the Graph Editor, choose
Show Expression Editor from the Choose Graph Type And Options
menu
at the bottom of the Graph Editor. When you add a new expression
to a property, the expression editor is shown, regardless of this
setting.
To resize the expression field,
drag its bottom edge up or down. - To see how an expression changes the value or velocity
graph, click the Show Post-Expression Graph button
while
showing the value or velocity graph in the Graph Editor.
The dimly colored graph displays the value or velocity before the expression is applied, and the brightly colored graph displays the value or velocity after the expression is applied. Turning on the graph overlay for the Position property also changes the motion path display in the Composition panel so that you can see the expression-affected path.
