About Animation Sequence Editor : Why I Can’t modify curve type every frame ? Just can set the Interpolation is Linear or Step . In some special cases , it’s important .

About Animation Compress : Change Animation Compress Settings , always make editor crach.but in some long sequence , when character’s location move far away from the start location , it will cause some bad result .

About Physics Animation: I want to discussion about two-side linked chain . What’s best way to do that ? In my case , its a small chain hanging , linked on my weapon , but two side of chain need to link on the gun’s two side , how do I solve this kind of physics animation ? I tried make physics asset and use it in Animation Blueprint by "Rigid Body " node , but the result is not really acceptable , and not stable …

Curve type is as you say only currently modifiable on a whole-sequence basis. There is currently an internal effort to move the tooling around animation sequences to be at parity with Sequencer, which should allow for per-key modifications like this in the future.

For your rigid body sim, while it’s not clear the exact problems you are having, this is something that has been talked about before in a live stream a while ago, which may help.
