Collapse Controller Converts procedural animation tracks to Bezier, Euler,
Linear, or TCB keyframe controller tracks. Can also be used to convert any
controller to these type of controllers. Allows for key reduction by using a
Samples parameter. See
Collapse Controller on page 3549
Enable Anim Layer Assigns a Layer controller to each highlighted track in
the hierarchy window. See Animation Layers on page 3164.
NOTE You must first set keys on the desired tracks before they can be
layer-enabled.
Ignore Animation Range Ignores the animation range for the selected
controller track. When set, the track plays independently of its range and its
background changes color. See
Ignore Animation Range on page 3598.
Respect Animation Range Respects the animation range for the selected
controller track. When set, the track plays only within its range. See Respect
Animation Range
on page 3599.
Make Unique Lets you turn an instanced controller into a unique controller.
If a controller is instanced, making changes to it will affect where ever it is
copied. If the controller is unique, then changes to it will not affect anything
else. See Make Controller Unique on page 3600.
Out of Range Types Lets you extend the animation beyond the existing
keyframes. Used primarily to loop and otherwise cycle your animation without
having to copy keys. See
Parameter Curve Out-of-Range Types on page 3601.
Properties Displays the Properties dialog, which gives access to the key
interpolation types. Different controller types will offer individual options
here. For example a Position XYZ controller will offer Fast, Slow, Linear,
Smooth, Step, Bezier and Auto Tangent as key options, while a TCB controller
will not show any of those controls. For some controllers this is the primary
gateway to the animation parameters. See
Properties (Track View Key Window)
on page 3618.

The Collapse Controller tool allows you to convert procedural animation
tracks into tracks with keyframes. A procedural track is an expression track,
wired parameter, noise controller, or even something like a list controller.
