• Select the bottom-left green keyframe in the Graph Editor (if the bounding box is visible, you may have to first deselect, then reselect a single keyframe).

Doing so reveals the Bezier curve handles for your graph, which are the yellow balls at the end of the yellow line pointing outward from the keyframe. Manipulating this handle allows us to directly change the curve of our interpolation graph.

Let’s change this graph so our Y scale overshoots—that is, goes beyond the initial ...
