Editing keyframes in the Track Bar timeline
- [Instructor] The track bar timeline, not only displays key frames for the selected object, but also allows us to edit those key frames in the time dimension. Let's take a look at editing keys in the track bar. It's called the track bar precisely because it gives us access to visualizing and editing animation tracks or channels of animation data such as position and rotation key frames. With a select object tool active, click on the animated object which is the camera, key frames for the selected object are displayed in the track bar. And we can simply click on these to select them. A selected key frame is highlighted in white. Then we can just click and drag on it to move it in time. I can move it to an earlier point in time, such as frame 30 and then press play. What we see is the first half of the animation goes very quickly and the second half goes much more slowly. We can move a key frame to a different point…
