Design timing once, apply it anywhere. Curves live in one place, properties reference them, and timing becomes something you iterate on — not bake into keyframes.
The fastest way in is the Getting Started video — it covers Marker-Driven mode end to end, including a camera-rig example with velocity matching. The Advanced Techniques video then unpacks the per-property buttons and curve blending.
Both videos are embedded in the relevant chapters: Marker-Driven Mode and Advanced: Per-Property Modes.
CurveConductor offers three distinct ways to drive your animation. They aren't competing — each fits a different situation, and you can mix them across properties in the same comp.
A whole layer reads curve names from its markers and remaps every keyed property accordingly. Procedural, easy to retime, survives keyframe edits. Use this 95% of the time.
Triggered by: Add Curve Marker, or clicking a preset with Marker Mode checked.
Place a curve on specific keyframe pairs of a single property. Other segments use native After Effects interpolation.
Triggered by: Apply to Selected Keys or Span Selection with Curve on a fresh property.
One curve drives every segment on the property, with a master blend control. The per-segment buttons then act as exceptions, overriding the default on specific keys or spans.
Triggered by: Apply to All Keys on Selected Property.
