Plotting starts and ends on the closest exact frame.

To set your own plot rate, select User FPS in the Plot Rate menu, drag in the number field, or double-click in the field and type the frame rate number you want to use. The value in the Fidelity Keys Tolerance field is a unit of measurement which represents how far, or to what degree, the plotted animation diverges from the original animation. Select the Gimbal Killer option to compensate for gimbal locking effects by adding additional keyframes to your rotation function curves. Gimbal lock is most often encountered when you plot animation onto the skeleton of your model. When the Plot Extensions option is disabled, Character Extension animation is not plotted. Plot On Frame Turn on Activate Plot On Frame to resample the data based on the specified frame rate, and ensure that data is plotted on exact frames.

Activate the Plot Translation on Root Only option to make sure that translation animation is plotted only to the Hips of the character. Reducing the number of keyframes reduces the file size. For example, plotting a function curve that has three keyframes without using Smart Plot creates many keyframes, which are too numerous to edit easily. Keyframes are set on each frame of the animation.

When your animation contains keyframes that have the same value, using the Constant Key Reducer may remove all of these keyframes.
