Goto Previous Action Within a clip, this selects the previous action. Curve Type By default, actions are applied to the clip in a linear manner, so that for example a scaling goes from the starting size to the ending size, changing the size by equal amounts for each frame. This may be perceived as too abrupt, so you can modify the rate with which an action is applied. “Curve Type” has the following submenu options: “Default” Linear transition. “Ease-In” Starting slow, speeding up towards the end. “Ease-Out” Starting fast, slowing down towards the end. “Ease-In & Out” Starting and ending slowly, faster in the middle. “None” Apply action immediately. The duration of the action does not matter.
