The Parameter List
The left side of the Keyframe Editor contains a list of parameters. You can choose which
parameters are displayed in the list and set keyframing functions in the Animation
menu. You can also create custom sets of parameters. This allows you to focus on
certain parameters at a time. For more information on creating and viewing parameter
sets, see “
Use the Show pop-up menu to select what is displayed in the Keyframe Editor. The
Show options include:
All: This option displays all parameters for the currently selected object in the list,
whether or not the parameters are animated.
Animated: This option displays only the animated parameters and curves for the
currently-selected object. This is the default setting.
Active: This option shows only the parameters currently being modified. When this
option is selected, nothing appears in the Keyframe Editor unless you are actively
modifying an object (in the Canvas, Inspector, or Dashboard). For example, when Active
is selected and you are moving an object around in the Canvas, the X and Y Position
parameters and curves are displayed.
The Parameter list is divided into four columns.
Activation checkbox: This checkbox, to the left of each parameter, toggles the display
of that parameter on and off in the keyframe graph. Clicking the checkbox next to the
object name turns all of the parameters for that object on or off.
