Is this addon for you?

Features

X, Y and Z Axis Sync

Get perfect sync no matter whether the curve direction is positive or negative

Cinema 4D/Maya Mode

If you come from either software, you might be tired of manually deselecting recently created keyframes. This option will emulate the way it works in C4D and Maya

Armature mode

Blender doesn't automatically deselect the keyframes when you switch bones. As a result, you gotta either manually spam 'deselect all' or you might risk of moving more keyframes than you wanted to. If this is an issue for you, turning this mode ON will solve it.

Extra Features

You also get a set of tools to further help you animate:

Why Choose Simple F-Curves?

When you have thousands of keyframes across dozens of channels you can't really afford to fiddle with every handle individually. Simple F-Curves allows you to affect the curves of all the selected keyframes at once.

The Graph Editor is a powerful tool but it's meant for surgical work. Simple F-Curves lets you combine the visual simplicity of the Timeline editor with the depth of the Graph Editor.

This addon went through lots of iterations to finally emerge with this layout. It lets beginners and professionals alike achieve the next level of efficiency in their workflow.

Have full control over all the keyframes you have selected. All at once.

Here's a quick demostration of this addon in action:

But what about this native menu?

Blender offers its own solution for quick fcurve shaping. Or at least it could be one if it weren't for its three big flaws:

1. Lots of clicks: you gotta right click to open the menu and set the ease to bezier, then right click again and set it to whatever slope you want it to have, and then another right cick + left click to set the ease type. That's 6 clicks across 2 menus for one curve shape!

2. It's not seamless. Setting two keyframes to ease in or out will most likely create a sharp angle.

3. It's not customizable. The ease curve doesn't generate handles.

Simple F-Curves addresses all of these issues. You get a simple way to create complex F-Curve shapes straight from the Timeline.
