Using Key Filters with Track Sets

If you are animating track sets using Key Filters in Set Key mode, the filters dictate which track set members are keyable, because they take precedence over track sets.

Only the track set members specified in the Key Filters list are keyable.

Procedures

  1. Highlight one or more tracks in the Track View Controller window.
  2. Click in the Track Set List field on the Track View toolbar.
