    hi again,

    a quick question,

    is there a way to copy-paste the curve shapes on the graph editor,

    how can i obtain the exact same curve shapes created manually for a property (ex. posX) to another property (ex. posY).

    thanks..

    Those curves are based on the incoming and outgoing velocities, the keyframe’s influence, its value and its position on the timeline. If you copy a keyframe and paste it, it will maintain the same incoming/outgoing velocities, influence and value. However, you may end up with a different curve if, for example, the keyframe is positioned farther away from the next keyframe.

    To maintain the exact same curves you need to have the exact same values for all of the keyframes, and those keyframes need to be the exact same distance from each other on the timeline. Any changes to values, incoming/outgoing velocities, influence or relative position on the timeline will alter the rate of change (the graph curve) of the keyframed value.
