Figure 3.21 A single F-curve.

A new point is added. RMB select
this point, causing it to be high-
lighted in orange while the other
points go dark. Press the G key to
move it. Your goal is to bring it
down to the same horizontal line
as the first point on the curve (we
want no rotation at first, which
means we need it to be flat) and
then push it as close to the middle
point from left to right as possible.
That will give us the lack of change we require, followed by a short rotation to the new position on frame

Figure 3.22 A good guess as to what we're looking for.
