Which tool is primarily used to adjust animation curves like easing and tangents?

• A. Animation Window
• B. Timeline
• C. Curve Editor
• D. Inspector

Answer: (C)

Animation curves determine how a value changes over time, and easing and tangents control how that change accelerates or decelerates between keyframes by shaping the curve’s smoothness and direction. The Curve Editor is the tool used to edit these curves directly: you place keyframes and drag the tangent handles to sculpt the Bezier-like interpolation, giving precise control over how the motion eases in and out. This graphical representation makes it possible to create natural or stylized transitions by altering curvature and tangent direction. While the Animation Window is where you set and time keyframes, and the Timeline handles sequencing, the Curve Editor is specifically for shaping the curve itself. The Inspector shows values but doesn’t provide the curve editing across time.
