• use_anim_optimize (boolean, (optional)) – Optimize Keyframes, Remove double keyframes
• anim_optimize_precision (float in [0, 20], (optional)) – Precision, Tolerance for comparing double keyframes (higher for greater accuracy)
• path_mode (enum in [‘AUTO’, ‘ABSOLUTE’, ‘RELATIVE’, ‘MATCH’, ‘STRIP’, ‘COPY’], (optional)) –
