Extract animation to or from an animation layer

 
 
 

When you are working with layered animation, you can extract attributes (and animation) from one layer onto a new layer.

To extract animation from your scene onto a layer

  1. Do one of the following:
    • To extract the animation from all animated objects, select Layers > Extract Non-Layered Animation for All Objects.
    • To extract the animation from selected objects, select Layers > Extract Non-Layered Animation for Selected Objects.

    The extracted animation is added to a new layer called BaseAnimation_extract and placed at the top of the stack.

To extract animation from an animation layer

  1. Select the layer from which you want to extract objects/animation.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Select Layers > Extract Selected Objects.
    • -click the layer, and select Extract Selected Objects from the pop-up menu.

    The selected objects/animation are extracted onto a new layer that is named after the source layer plus the suffix _extract.
