Introducing the Face Key Editor

The Face Key Editor helps you edit the keys in a specific Motion Clip. You may then manually modify the details of the facial features, head and the shoulders to create an ideal facial expression or head and shoulder movements. Please refer to the Using Face Key Editor section for the information about displaying and activating the Face Key Editor panel.
