Live2D Curve Editor

The Graph Editor lives inside the Full Editor timeline and is the best place to fine-tune interpolation, release feel, and multi-track timing.

Where It Fits in the Current Workflow

Open the Full Editor, select a clip in Clips, and then use the timeline area to switch between:

• Dope Sheet for keyframe timing and track structure
• Graph Editor for value-vs-time curve shaping

Rules can be previewed in the timeline too, but keyframe editing itself still happens on clip tracks.

Before You Start Editing

Two preview controls matter a lot now:

• Preview Base in the inspector:
  • Baseline
  • Idle Base
  • Active Base
• Mod ON/OFF in the inspector to temporarily disable track modifiers

Use them to separate “my keyframes are wrong” from “my base layer or modifier stack is changing what I see”.

Getting Started

1. Open the Full Editor
2. Select a clip with keyframed tracks
3. In the timeline toolbar, switch to the graph icon
4. Adjust the visible tracks with the parameter picker
5. Fine-tune interpolation and release in the inspector

Curve Types

Current interpolation types:

Type	Use it for
Linear	direct, even transitions
Cubic Bezier	hand-shaped easing
Step	hard switches
Spring	quick physical-feeling motion with preset character

The editor exposes built-in presets for these families in the inspector, plus a visual mini-preview of the selected curve.

Release Curves

For tracks using Hold then Release, release editing now matters just as much as the keyframed section.

You can choose:

• built-in release presets
• custom bezier release control points

That release is what makes the difference between:

• a graceful return to baseline
• a snappy interruption
• a soft handoff into a stronger clip

Parameter Picker and Multi-Track Editing

The graph editor includes a searchable parameter picker so you can focus on only the tracks you want to inspect.

Multi-track editing is especially useful when shaping coordinated motion such as:

• both eyes
• head + body
• mouth open + mouth form
• __focus_x__ + __focus_y__

Batch editing works well for:

• moving multiple keyframes together
• deleting a phrase of motion
• applying the same interpolation family across tracks

When to Use Graph Editor vs Dope Sheet

Use Dope Sheet when you care about:

• rough timing
• track layout
• adding/removing keys quickly

Use Graph Editor when you care about:

• easing quality
• overshoot / settle feel
• synchronized multi-track motion
• release polish

Troubleshooting

If the graph looks correct but playback still feels wrong, check:

1. Preview Base mode
2. Mod ON/OFF
3. rule or base-behavior priority
4. track blend mode
5. sequence tester + parameter-control inspector
