Interface
By default, the active time segment is from frame 0 to frame 100. The slider
displays time in frames,
SMPTE numbers on page 7933 , or other measurements,
depending on the current setting in the
Time Configuration dialog on page
7359 .
The slider bar displays the current frame, followed by a slash (/), followed by
the total frames in the active time segment. For example 25/100 means frame
25 of 100 frames. The current frame also appears in the current frame field.
If
animation on page 7711 exists in the scene, it's played back as you drag the
time slider.
The buttons on either side of the time slider bar move one frame to the left
and one frame to the right, like the Previous Frame and Next Frame buttons
in the time controls. If Key Mode on page 7358 is on, these buttons duplicate
the Previous Key and Next Key buttons.
Key Mode can jump to all the keys or only the transform keys, depending on
the Key steps setting in the Time Configuration dialog.
TIP Right-click the slider bar to open the Create Key dialog. This lets you create
Position, Rotation, or Scale keys without using the Auto Key button. It also lets
you copy keys easily from one frame to another.
Track Bar
The track bar is located below the viewports, between the time slider and the
status bar.
The track bar provides a timeline showing the frame numbers (or appropriate
display units). It provides a quick alternative to Track View for moving,
copying, and deleting keys, and changing key properties. Select an object to
view its animation keys on the track bar. The track bar also displays keys for
multiple selected objects.
