Selected Filtering
Choosing “Show only selected tools” from the Keyframes Editor Option menu filters out all
segments except for layers corresponding to selected nodes. This option can be turned
on or off.
TIP: When “Show only selected tools” is enabled, you can continue to select nodes in
the Node Editor to update what’s displayed in the Keyframes Editor.
Sorting in the Timeline
You can change the order in which the nodes are displayed from top to bottom in the Timeline.
 You can use the Tree Item Order Selection menu to sort the tracks by an
assigned number.
 You can use the Sort pop-up menu.
The Tree Item Order Menu
Right-clicking over any track on the Keyframes Editor will display a contextual menu that
contains the Tree Item Order Selection submenu. Choosing Start from the submenu allows you
to start numbering each item in the track header by clicking on them. The first item you click will
be #1, the second item #2, the third #3, and so on. Once you have selected all the items in the
order you want them to be organized in the Keyframes Editor, right-click over a track, and from
the Tree Item Order Selection submenu, choose End. The items will be ordered using the
assigned numbers, with #1 appearing above #2, which appears above #3, and so on. The first
items in the Keyframe track list will always be the nodes that are the root of the node tree. The
numbered nodes will appear in order after the root nodes. For example, if the node tree starts
with a background node, and then connects to a Fast Noise, Blur, and Color Corrector, the
background node will always appear at the top of the Keyframes Editor track list because it is
the root node.
The Keyframes Editor Tree Item Order Selection menu.
If you begin numbering nodes in the track header and change your mind or decide on a
different order, you can choose Restart to begin numbering again or choose Cancel to keep the
current order.
The Sort Menu
The Sort menu reorders how the layers of each node appear in the Keyframes Editor. Setting
the menu back to All Tools will display them in a linear order, scanning the Node Editor from left
to right and top to bottom. This is the default setting.
