the dialog.
5 Select the sphere, and then right-click it. From the quad menu, choose
Dope Sheet.

sphere's Position track.
7 On the Controllers menu, choose Respect Animation Range.
The background color of the track changes to gray.
8 Drag the track's range bar so it starts at frame 10.
9 Play the animation.
Because Respect Animation Range is on, the sphere starts moving only
when it is within the track's animation range.
Make Controller Unique
Main toolbar > Curve Editor (Open) > Select an instanced Controller track >
Controller menu > Make Controller Unique.
Keyboard: U
Make Controller Unique converts an instanced clone of a controller to a copy
that's unique to the current object. Objects and modifiers can also be made
unique.
The result depends on whether or not the data flow branches at the selected
container:
■ If the data flow does not branch anywhere below the selected container,
nothing happens.
■ If the data flow does branch at or below the selected container, the data
flow above the branch is split from the current data flow as a unique object.
The data flow from the selected container to the master object is copied
and attached to the new unique object.
