Note: If you would like to insert the curve into a longer or shorter object, then think
about setting the option "Connect curve length with object length" correctly before
copying.

Combine effects curve with object length: If this option is set, then changes to object
length will affect the effects curve accordingly.
In practice, this behavior is needed rarely, for example if objects are stretched or
compressed. The option is deactivated by default for this reason.

Load effects curve: A previously saved effects curve may be loaded via this menu
item. This is useful, for example, if you have added your own default animations.

Caution! The current effects curve will be overwritten as another one is loaded.

Save effects curve: Effects curves can be saved as a separate file. This is useful, for
example, if you want to add your own default animations and simply load them again
at other positions again.

Tip: Be aware that during saving the setting "Connect curve length with object
length" is saved as well and applied during loading.

Edit effects curve
This dialog serves to stretch, compress and move effect curves within an object. The
info bar of the dialog will display the effect, whose automation curve is currently being
edited.

Move position

Time: With each click on the arrow, you can move the effect curve forward or back by
the displayed time value.

Effect: Every click on the arrow up or down moves the effect curve by the entered
value. Depending on the effect, it is possible to enter exact or percent values.

Stretch/Compress
Time: The effect curve will be stretched or compressed by the entered time value.
Invert reverses the curve on the time axis and reinserts it in "reverse". The entire
object duration will be considered.

Effect: The effect curve is stretched or compressed in its values, no time-related
editing takes place. The selected option (see table) is decisive in editing.
