Keying Sets

The Active Keying Sets data ID in the Timeline.

Keying sets are a collection of animated properties that are used to animate and keyframe multiple properties at the same time. For example, using keying sets you can press I in the 3D Viewport, Blender will add keyframes for all the properties in the active keying set. There are some built-in keying sets and, also custom keying sets called Absolute Keying Sets. To select and use a keying set, set the Active Keying Set in the Keying popover in the Timeline header, or the Keying Set panel, or press Shift-Ctrl-Alt-I in the 3D Viewport.

Whole Character Keying Set

The built-in Whole Character keying set is made to keyframe all properties that are likely to get animated in a character rig. It was also implicitly used by the Old Pose Library system.

«COR», «DEF», «GEO», «MCH», «ORG», «VIS»
