+Baking a curve replaces it with a set of sampled points at each full frame. 
+**It is a destructive process that removes the ability to edit the curve**.
+The main use for this is to reduce the file size with large datasets. Samples are only 1/5th the size per key.
+The sampled points interpolate linearly on subframes.
