Animation (Animatie)¶

The Animation section lets you manage settings related to Animation. This includes how editors look and also some different tools properties.

Timeline (Tijdlijn)¶

These settings control things in the Timeline.

Allow Negative Frame: Playback and animations can occur during negative frame ranges.

Timecode Style

Format of timecodes displayed when not displaying timing in terms of frames.

Minimal Info:: Most compact representation, uses ‘+’ as separator for sub-second frame numbers, with left and right truncation of the timecode as necessary.
SMPTE (Full):: Full SMPTE timecode (format is HH:MM:SS:FF).
SMPTE (Compact):: SMPTE timecode showing minutes, seconds, and frames only – hours are also shown if necessary, but not by default.
Compact with Decimals:: Similar to SMPTE (Compact), except that the decimal part of the second is shown instead of frames.
Only Seconds:: Direct conversion of frame numbers to seconds.

Zoom to Frame Type

Defines what time range (around the cursor) will be displayed when the View Frame Numpad0 is performed.

Keep Range:: The currently displayed time range is preserved.
Seconds (Seconden):: The number of seconds specified in the Zoom Seconds field will be shown around the cursor.
Keyframes (Keyframes):: The number of animation keyframes defined in the Zoom Keyframes field will be shown around the cursor.

These settings control Keyframes which are the building blocks for animations.

Standaard Key Channels

Which channels to insert keys at when no keying set is active.

Location (Locatie):: Inset keyframes for an object’s Location.
Rotation (Rotatie):: Inset keyframes for an object’s Rotation.
Schaal (Scale):: Inset keyframes for an object’s Scale.
Rotation Mode:: Inset keyframes for an object’s Rotation Mode.
Custom Properties (Aangepaste Eigenschappen):: Inset keyframes for Custom Properties (Aangepaste Eigenschappen).

Only Insert Needed

This will only insert keyframes if the value of the property is different.

Manual:: When keying manually, skip inserting keys that don’t affect the animation.
Auto (Automatisch):: Auto-Keying will skip inserting keys that don’t affect the animation.

Keyframing – Visual Keying: When an object is using constraints, the object property value does not actually change. Visual Keying will add keyframes to the object property, with a value based on the visual transformation from the constraint.

Auto-Keyframing

Show Warning: Displays a warning at the top right of the 3D Viewport, when moving objects, if Auto Keyframe is on.

Only Insert Available: This will only add keyframes to channels of F-Curves that already exist.

These settings control how F-Curves look and their default behavior.

Unselected Opacity: Controls the opacity of unselected F-Curves against the background of the Graph Editor.

Default Smoothing Mode: Controls the behavior of automatic curve handles for newly created F-Curves.

Default Interpolation: Controls the default Interpolation for newly created keyframes.

XYZ to RGB: Color for X, Y, or Z animation curves (location, scale or rotation) is the same as the color for the X, Y, and Z axis.

Channel Group Colors: Display groups and channels with colors matching their corresponding groups.

Only Show Selected F-Curve Keyframes: Only shows the keyframes markers on the selected curves.

Use High Quality Display: Display F-Curves using Anti-Aliasing and other effects (disable for a better performance).
