SUMMARY
=======
 
This article provides tips for smoothing out Fcurves.
 
MORE INFORMATION
================
 
The following are several methods you can use:
 
 - You can make minor adjustments by editing the Fcurve Key's control bars.
 
 - Choose FcrvEdit and adjust the Fit Spline to Fcurve's Tolerance value.
   This will affect the precision of the resultant Fcurve.
 
 - You can run the Fcurve through Convert to Raw Fcurve and then perform
   the Fit Spline to Fcurve operation. Often, converting the Fcurve to a
   Raw Fcurve type adds a key for each frame, but once the Raw Fcurve is
   converted using Fit Spline to Fcurve, the result will show a smooth,
   curvilinear interpolation.
