Animation Editors

There are several editors that help you manipulate animation. They allow you to do everything from just moving through time in the Timeline, to editing the animation curves to tell Blender how you want it to interpolate the movement between two keyframes, to mixing different animations as if you were editing video! Figure 12.1 shows the different editors.
