The time of the keyframe.
In a 2D graph you could think of this as the x-value.
Additional resources: value.
using UnityEngine;
public class Example : MonoBehaviour { void Start() { AnimationCurve curve = AnimationCurve.Linear(0, 0, 5, 5); // Extract the time from the first keyframe of a curve Debug.Log(curve[0].time); } }
