Bake animation in the Graph Editor

You can bake animation in the Graph Editor if you want to edit a single animation curve instead of all the contributing attributes that affect the behavior of a single attribute, for example, an object affected by a driven key or an Expression.

When you bake keys on an animation channel, a key is set every frame on the curve.

Note: Bake Channel operates only on animation that can be evaluated explicitly. You can't Bake Channels on Inverse Kinematics systems, Dynamics, and some Expressions.

In the Graph Editor

Ensure that all the animation you want to bake is showing in the Graph View and select mCurves > Bake Channel from the Graph Editor Curves menu.
