Why we like it

Bezier Curve Editor earns its place in the Blender extensions library for putting easing-curve editing right in the timeline. Version 1.0.9 fixed an issue where easings could not be correctly applied while multiple keyframes were selected.

What is Bezier Curve Editor?

Bezier Curve Editor is a Blender add-on for editing and applying easing curves to keyframes directly in the timeline. You drag the control points on the graph to create custom curves and apply them to the selected keyframes. Auto Apply mode previews the results of your curve adjustments in real time, the add-on supports elastic curves, and you can save frequently used curves as presets.

The interface opens from a button in the top-right corner of the Timeline or Info panel. While dragging a control point, hold Shift to snap to the edge or Ctrl to snap to the grid. The middle mouse button pans the view, the scroll wheel zooms in and out, and Shift plus click deletes a preset. Tooltips provide extra guidance for each button.

Bezier Curve Editor is compatible with Blender 4.2 LTS and newer and is released under the GNU General Public License v3.0 or later. The current release is version 1.0.9.
