Dopesheet
|
Determines which tracks are displayed in the dopesheet:
-
Displays tracks only for the animated parameters.
-
Displays tracks only for the marked parameters.
-
Displays tracks only for the selected parameters.
|
|
Moves all frames "down" the track when frames and keys are inserted.
|
|
Keeps keys on frames when scaling regions.
|
|
Aligns tracks with the parameters displayed in the animation explorer (tree). The labels above each track are not displayed,
but the track is exactly across from its associated parameter.
|
Paste Operation
For information on pasting in the dopesheet, see Cutting Copying and Pasting Keys.
|
-
Cut/copied keys are merged with any existing keys in the destination region (with Ripple off).
-
Any existing keys in the destination region are removed before the cut/copied keys are pasted in (with Ripple off).

Phoneme Keys
For information on these keys, see Displaying Phoneme Shape Weight Keys in the Dopesheet.
|
Displays keys for weight fcurves, notably shape weight fcurves. Keys are displayed as empty dark brown boxes. The shape parameter's
name is also displayed if their weight value is above the current value (see below).
|
|
Displays the parameter name for all frames inbetween the shape keys.
|
|
The weight value above which the shape parameter's name is displayed for the key. For example, if you set this value to 0.75,
only shape keys whose weight is above 0.75 have their parameter name displayed in the empty box. This makes it easy to see
which keys have the most influence on the shape. All keys whose values are lower than 0.75 appear as an empty box without
their parameter name.
