Channels

Channels Region

The Channels region.

The channels region is used to select and manage the curves for the Graph editor. This part shows the objects and their animation data hierarchy each as headers. Each level can be expanded/collapsed by the small arrow to the left of its header.

• Scenes, Objects (dark blue)

• Actions, Shape keys, etc. (light blue)

• Groups (green)

• Channels (gray)

Controls

On the headers, there are toggles to control channel's setting:

Pin (pin icon)

Make the channel always visible regardless of the current selection (Graph editor only).

Hide (eye icon)

Hides the channel(s)/curve (Graph editor only).

Modifiers (wrench icon)

Deactivates the F-curve modifiers of the selected curve or all curves in the channel.

Mute (speaker icon)

Deactivates the channel/curve.

Lock (padlock icon) Tab

Toggle channel/curve from being editable. Selected channels can be locked by pressing Tab.

注釈

In the Dope Sheet this is also working inside the NLA, but that it does not prevent edition of the underlying F-curve.

Menu

Delete Channels X

Deletes the whole channel from the current action (i.e. unlink the underlying F-curve data-block from this action data-block).

警告

The X shortcut is area-dependent: if you use it in the left list part, it will delete the selected channels, whereas if you use it in the main area, it will delete the selected keyframes.

Un/Group Channels Ctrl-Alt-G, Ctrl-G

Un/Groups the selected channels into a collection that can be renamed by double clicking on the group name. For example, this helps to group channels that relate a part of an armature to keep the editor more organized.

Enable/disable a channel's setting (selected in the menu that pops up).

Protect, Mute
