Introduction

La Dope Sheet.

The Dope Sheet gives the animator a birds-eye-view of the keyframes inside the scene.

The Dope Sheet is inspired by classical hand-drawn animation process, in which animators will make use of a chart, showing exactly when each drawing, sound and camera move will occur, and for how long. This is called an exposure sheet or “dope sheet”. While CG foundations dramatically differ from classical hand-drawn animation, Blender’s Dope Sheet inherits a similar directive.

While the Dope Sheet Mode allows you to edit multiple actions at once, the other ones are dedicated to view and edit specific data-blocks used in different context of animation.

Navigation

Comme avec la plupart des éditeurs, vous pouvez :

Pan (panoramique)

Pan the view vertically (values) or horizontally (time) with click and drag (MMB).

Zoom

Zoom in and out with the mouse wheel (Wheel).

Scale View

Scale the view vertically or horizontally (Ctrl-MMB).

In addition, you can also use the scrollbars to pan and zoom the view.

Keyframes

L’Éditeur Dope Sheet avec des canaux d’objet.

This area contains keyframes for all visible action channels. As with the other time-based editors, the X axis represents time. The Y axis represents a stack of action channels.

On these channels lay the keyframes, which can show different information:

Gris	Non sélectionné
Jaune	Selected
Losange	Free Keyframe Handle
Round	Poignée de Trame clé Auto-Limitée (Auto-Clamped)
Circle	Poignée de Trame clé Automatique
Carré	Poignée de Trame clé Vectorielle
Losange	Poignées de Trame clé Alignée
Various colors	These represent custom keyframe tags set by the user (Key ‣ Keyframe Type)
Barre grise entre les clés	Touche maintenue (les deux trames clés sont identiques)
Ligne verte entre les clés	Fixed keyframe interpolation (set in Key ‣ Interpolation Mode)
Flèche vers le haut	Maximum Extreme keyframe (visible if View ‣ Show Curve Extremes are enabled)
Flèche vers le bas	Minimum Extreme keyframe (visible if View ‣ Show Curve Extremes are enabled)

A diagonal hash fill in the background is used to display the Manual Frame Range of the action the channel belong to.

Selecting Keyframes

Selection tools are available in the Select menu in the header, and the main shortcuts are listed below:

Sélection

Click on a key to select it. Hold Shift to extend the current selection.

Box Selecting

Scaling Keyframes

To scale (stretch) selected keys, press S.

Extending Keyframes

To extend the time between two keys, select all with A, place the Playhead between two keyframes and press E.

See the Key menu for a full list of selection tools.

Header (Entête)

Here you find the menus, a first group of controls related to the editor « mode », a second one concerning the action data-blocks, and a few other tools (like the copy/paste buttons, and snapping type).

Menu View

Adjust Last Operation

Affiche un panneau popup pour modifier les propriétés de la dernière opération terminée. Voir Adjust Last Operation.

Types de poignée.

Show Handles and Interpolation

Instead of displaying all keyframes as diamonds, different icons are used to show the Bézier handle type. When curves use a different interpolation type, a line is shown between keys to highlight that.

Voir Affcihage des poignées et de l’Interpolation.

Marqueurs extrêmes.

Show Extremes

Detect keys where the curve changes direction based on comparing with the adjacent key values, and display that by changing the keyframe icons to resemble an arrow. A muted version of the icon is used if the curve overshoots the extreme, or for groups with different results for contained curves.

See Graph editor’s Menu View.

Markers Menu

Les Marqueurs sont utilisés pour désigner les images comportant des points clés ou des événements significatifs au sein d’une animation. Comme pour la plupart des éditeurs d’animation, les marqueurs sont affichés en bas de l’éditeur.

Marqueurs dans l’éditeur d’animation.

Certaines options sont exclusives à l’éditeur de Feuille d’Exposition :

Sync Markers

Sync Markers with keyframe edits.

Show Pose Markers (montrer les marqueurs Pose)

Available in Action and Shape Key modes. Shows pose markers owned by the active action instead of the scene ones.

Make Markers Local (rendre les marqueurs locaux)

Available in Action and Shape Key modes. Converts selected scene markers in pose markers, assigning them to the active action.

For more information and the description of the other marker tools, see Editing Markers.

Menu Key

Keyframe Type R

Sets the Types de trame clé of the selected keyframes.

See F-Curve.

Filtres

Only Show Selected

Only include keyframes related to the selected item this item could be sequencer strips, nodes, objects, or any other type of data.

Show Hidden

Include keyframes from objects or bones that are not visible.

Only Show Errors

Only include curves and drivers that are disabled or have errors. Useful for debugging.

F-Curve Name Filter

Fuzzy/Multi-Word name filtering matches word snippets/partial words, instead of having to match everything. It breaks down the search text based on whitespace placement. e.g. « lo ro » will filter all location and rotation, while « lc rt » will not work.

Filter by Type

Filtrer les courbes par type de propriété.

Filtering Collection

Select a collection to only show keyframes from objects contained in that collection.

Sort Data-Blocks

Objects data-blocks appear in alphabetical order, so that it is easier to find where they occur (as well as helping to keep the animation of related objects together in the NLA editor for instance).

If you find that your playback speed suffers from this being enabled (it should only really be an issue when working with lots of objects in the scene), you can turn this off.

Summary

Toggles the « Dope Sheet Summary » channel at the top of the Channels Region. This is used to give an overview of all the channels by combining all the actions into one channel.

Région de la Barre Latérale (Sidebar)

Panneau Action

Actions avec et sans Manual Frame Range dans la Dope Sheet.

When the editor is in the Action mode, or a channel belonging to an action is selected in Dope Sheet mode, this panel allows changing some settings of the selected action, specifically the Manual Frame Range.
