Auto fitAutomatically adjusts the vertical zoom to fit the curve on screen.

On a retimed layer, if you have enabled Edit ▸ Settings ▸ Interface ▸ Retime opens to Speed then the graph view for Retime displays a custom speed graph instead, to make retiming easier.

When working in the graph editor you can use the Linear, Bezier, or Hold buttons to alter the change between frames. Linear has a constant rate of change between keyframes, and hold will hold the last keyframe until it reaches a new one.

Bezier gives a keyframe two handles, which by default move together, but holding alt while scrubbing allows them to act independently. These can be used to influence and change the rate of change between keyframes.

Altering keyframes in both the value and speed graph will reflect in the other.
