Animation group Start Time/End Time Sets the active time segment on page 7898 displayed in the time slider. Choose any time segment before or after frame 0. For example, you can set an active time segment from -50 to 250. Length Displays the number of frames in the active time segment. If you make this greater than the total frames in the active segment, the End Time field increases accordingly. Frame Count The number of frames that will render. Always the length plus one. Current Time Specifies the current frame for the time slider. As you adjust this, the time slider moves accordingly and the viewport updates. Re-scale Time Stretches or shrinks the animation for the active time segment to fit into the new time segment you specify. Relocates the position of all keys on page 8020 in all tracks. As a result, the animation plays over a greater or lesser number of frames, making it faster or slower. Key Steps group Controls in this group let you configure the method used when you turn on Key Mode on page 7564. Use TrackBar Allows key mode to honor all keys in the track bar. This includes any parameter animation in addition to transform keys. To make the following controls available, turn off Use TrackBar. Selected Objects Only Considers only the transforms on page 8157 of selected objects when you use Key Steps mode. If you turn this off, the transforms of all (unhidden) objects in the scene are considered. Default=on. Use Current Transform Disables Position, Rotation, and Scale and uses the current transform in Key Mode. For example, if the Rotate button is selected in the toolbar, you stop at each rotation key. If none of the three transform buttons are on, Key Mode considers all transforms. To make the following control available, turn off Use Current Transform. Position, Rotation, Scale Specifies which transforms are used by Key Mode. Time Configuration | 7571
