Key All-option in tree?

MickM

Hi Nate,

Our last problem seemed to be fixed by your speedy update. Thanks for that 🙂

I have a question.
Maybe I'm overlooking it, but is there a way to key all the containers in the tree from GREEN to RED without clicking them all individually? Like perhaps a Key All-option?

In our current project, I have a scene with A LOT of skeletons and bones. (It's for a cutscene)

I do like to say that we still enjoy using your software. Nice job!

Nate

Glad it is looking like the new launcher and latest update is working for everyone. It's really stressful when there are problems!

You can key SRT for the selected bones with ctrl + L. There isn't a shortcut for keying all the slots, meshes, colors, etc. Maybe if we better understand your use case we can come up with a good solution. What is everything you are trying to key?

Thanks for your reply, Nate!

What I'm trying to do is make a cutscene that has its different scenes in the form of seperate animations. That would mean that animation 01 ends on the same frame animation 02 starts.
Because of this, you'd want to key everything in the tree.

Nate

Without a way to say "play this animation from here to here, then that one, etc", it may be easier to use a single animation for the entire scene. Keying everything is not so great at runtime, since it creates a separate timeline for everything with a single key at frame 0. All those timelines will be checked every time the animation is applied.

On a related note, can we have a "key all keyed/key all timelines" function in the editor?
It's basically key-all, but limited to what timelines are already there (ie, only the properties that changed/that have timelines are keyed so the animation's scope doesn't extend beyond what it originally keys and it doesn't cost extra in performance.)

It's useful for when you want the character to hold a pose for a while.
Very common use.
Seriously. 😃

Best I can do at the moment is a task for later:
