Keyframes, interpolation, F-curves, drivers, shape keys — changing values over time, and the slotted Actions of Blender 5.x. — 11 entries

A marker that records a value at a frame. Blender fills in the values between two keyframes.

Interpolation defines how values are filled between keyframes. The same two keys can produce different speeds and arrival times.

A curve that maps frames to one animated value. Edit its keys and interpolation in the Graph Editor.

Add rules such as repetition or noise to an F-Curve without changing its keys. Motion can continue without duplicating keys.

Connect one property's value to another value or expression. It can respond to frames, objects, or custom properties without direct keyframes.

Store multiple shapes for one mesh and blend them with values. Animate facial expressions, mouth shapes, or other smooth deformations.

Constrain an object to a position on a curve so it travels along the path. Animate progress instead of keying every position.

Keep a chosen object axis pointed at a target. Use it when direction matters more than position, as with a camera or an eye.

Sets how many frames play in one second. A higher fps makes the same frame range take less time.

Slots select which animated data block uses a set of Action channels. In Blender 5.x, Actions connect to their targets through slots.

Show the positions an animated object visits across frames as a trajectory. Inspect the curve and spacing of its motion at a glance.
