I did misunderstand it as well. It is a tool for spacing, breakpoint is made at current frame. Tool for spacing, I see no reason why it couldn't be used either constant linear or spline curves.

true.
that explains why i dont see much use for it. i use copied pairs or
max linear curves for blocking. just helps me see the timing much better.

thanks for sharing. i didnt know about it (as if i would know
anything ;) ).
i wonder however, using maya i tried the breakdown keys there. all
they do is stying inbetween the regular keyframes right?
then what do i need them for? when i scale and move the timing i can
select 2 keyframes and the breakdowns inbetween and scale it/move it
as i like?
what does the breakdown key help me? or do i miss a serious feature?

ciao
