The 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.

Dope Sheet Modes#

Dope Sheet modes.#

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.

The Dope Sheet Editor with object channels.#

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:

Gray

Unselected

Yellow

Selected

Ромб

Free Keyframe Handle

Round (окружность)

Auto-Clamped Keyframe Handle

Circle (окружность)

Automatic Keyframe Handle

Квадрат

Vector Keyframe Handle

Rhombus

Aligned Keyframe Handle

Various colors

These represent custom keyframe tags set by the user (Key ‣ Keyframe Type)

Gray bar between keys

Held key (the two keyframes are identical)

Green line between keys

Fixed keyframe interpolation (set in Key ‣ Interpolation Mode)

Upwards arrow

Maximum Extreme keyframe (visible if View ‣ Show Curve Extremes are enabled)

Downwards arrow

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.
