Keys for these tracks are generated automatically when you activate footsteps.
You can view the keys for each track on the Track Bar by turning off Footstep
Mode and clicking the corresponding button listed above. These tracks are
also visible in Track View's Dope Sheet mode.
NOTE When you select the COM, only the keys corresponding to the selected
track are displayed. If you select the COM and do not select a track, no keys are
displayed on the Track Bar, even if the COM is animated. You can find out which
COM track is selected by checking the status of the buttons displayed above.
When a button is turned on, the track is selected.
You can animate the COM or change existing keys after footsteps are activated.
To change COM keys after footsteps are activated, see
