Edit Keys

Displays your animation as a series of key dots and range bars in the Track View Edit Window. Only controller items (items with a green triangle icon) can display key dots. All other items display range bars indicating the time span of key dots for controller items in their subordinate branches.

Edit Keys is most useful for getting a global view of your animation because it displays animation timing for all tracks. Use this mode for key and range editing when you want to view your changes in the context of the total animation.

Use Edit Keys mode to:

• Select and change one or more keys.
• Drag range bars to change all animation in multiple tracks.
