Remove Empty Animation Data

Reference

Menu

Edit ‣ Remove Empty Animation Data

This operator removes AnimData data-blocks (restricted to only those which are visible in the animation editor where it is run from) which are "empty" (i.e. that is, have no active action, drivers, and NLA tracks or strips).

It is sometimes possible to end up with a lot of data-blocks which have old and unused Animation Data containers still attached. This most commonly happens when doing motion graphics work (i.e. when some linked-in objects may have previously been used to develop a set of reusable assets), and is particularly distracting in the NLA Editor.

Start Editing Stashed Action

Menu

Edit ‣ Start Editing Stashed Action

Hotkey

Shift-Tab

It will enter and exit Tweak Mode as usual, but will also make sure that the action can be edited in isolation (by flagging the NLA track that the action strip comes from as being "solo"). This is useful for editing stashed actions, without the rest of the NLA Stack interfering.

Menu

Edit ‣ Start Tweaking Strips Action
