When trying to slide with my middle mouse to increase/decrease value in the channel box, it keeps jumping up by .5 or by 1. How do I change it so that it would change at a smaller number? Like instead of .5 to 1 to 1.5, how do I make it go 1.1, 1.11, 1.12, 1.13 ?

Hope you guys understood what I was trying to say. Its kind of hard to get the right shape you want when the value keeps jumping so high.

not sure if I'm understanding the question correctly, but some things have built in maximums in their sliders, but you should be able to manually input higher numbers if you want.

Hey Mike,
Hadn't seen you for awhile. user added image

Anyhow you know how you highlight the section you want to change the value of?

Well when I high light the whole thing, values and for example, size. I then use my middle mouse to drag it left and right to increase or decrease the value. Instead of getting small integers or numbers, I'm getting numbers that go up by .1, .2, .3, .4
By getting those numbers and nothing in between, my transition to isn't smoothe, it gets a bit jumpy so I have a hard time controlling the shapes.

I want to be able to set the the thing so that it would also get the inbetween values when I highlight and middle mouse drag left/right. For example: instead of the above values I described earlier, I would like to get these values w/out having to type it my self, but rather dragging it.

.11, .12, .13, .14 etc etc

This way I can get a smoothe transition.

Hope that's better.

hmm, not sure why it wouldn't go smoother than that. perhaps try right clicking in the channel box and resetting it at the bottom?

Hmmm I had that problem before, I'm trying to figure out what the problem was but I can't remember. I remember it was very simple and had something to do with selections though.

Also found out that clock thing above the channelbox controls the speed of the slider.
