*nevermind*

After scratching my head over this for days it finally struck me what was going on. there are no bezier handles available when x/y/z are locked together. Once you “Separate Dimensions” (this is CS4 we are talking about here) the bezier curves will behave like any other 3d graph editor, allowing control of the tangent.

This must have to do with the math involved in the Auto smoothing, as
According to the help page on Separate Dimensions:

“Important: When you recompose separate Position properties into a single Position property, some information about the motion path and speed is lost, because the multiple Bezier curves used to represent the individual components are collapsed into a single Bezier curve at each keyframe. When you separate dimensions, some information about speed is lost, but the motion path does not change. You should work with separate dimensions or without separate dimensions for each property for an entire project, rather than toggling back and forth.”

Good thing to know.

Nope, not that. I actually came across that page this morning while trying to figure this out. I think it has something to do with the zoom magnification within the value editor, but that is just a guess.

I have also tried switching to the curve tool and converting to try to pull out handles. Doesnt’ work. Also tried the suggestion of using the ‘G’ key to pull out the handle. No luck there either.

thanks tho

I should also mention that I am losing the Bezier handles in the value graph, not the speed graph.

When I highlight the keyframe it will glow yellow, but no handle. I can visually see the slope of the curve change when I toggle from linear to Continuous, but I have not handle to control the slope. perplexing.
