Dragging a parent-object range bar with Modify Subtree on affects all
tracks subordinate to the object and all tracks of all of its linked
descendants.
Position Ranges
Track View > Dope Sheet > Ranges: Dope Sheet toolbar > Position Ranges
Position Ranges mode allows you to position range bars independently from
their associated keys and produce special effects.
The process of adjusting a range bar independent of its keys is called decoupling
the range. Positioning a range bar so it matches the first to last keys of a track
is called recoupling the range.
NOTE The Ranges: Dope Sheet toolbar doesn't appear in Track View by default.
To open it, right-click an empty area adjacent to the Dope Sheet toolbar and
choose Show Toolbars > Ranges: Dope Sheet. Save your layout after you do.
Decouple a Range Bar
You decouple a range bar for two reasons:
■ You want some keys at the start or end of an animation range not to take
effect.
Keys outside of the range bar are ignored during animation playback. The
keys outside the range still affect interpolated values inside the range, but
the applied Out-of-Range type is used to animate time outside the range
bar.
■ You want to add extra time before the first key or after the last key that is
not affected by the applied Out-of-Range type.
Time beyond the first or last key of the track, but still within the range,
uses the constant value of the nearest key within the range.
Procedures
To decouple a range bar from its keys:
1 Right-click an empty area adjacent to the Dope Sheet toolbar and choose
Show Toolbars > Ranges: Dope Sheet.
