pymel.core.animation.timeEditorAnimSource¶

timeEditorAnimSource(*args, **kwargs)¶

Commands for managing animation sources.

Flags:

Long Name / Short Name		Argument Types	Properties
addObjects / ao		unicode
	Populate the given object(s) and their attributes to anim source to Time Editor. For multiple object, pass each name separated by semicolon. In query mode, return the number of attributes that will be populated given the flags, along with the animation’s first and last frames for the given object(s). Similar to -addSelectedObjectsflag but acts on given object(s) instead. This flag will override the flag -addSelectedObjects.
addRelatedKG / akg		bool
	During population, determine if associated keying groups should be populated or not. Normally used for populating HIK. By default the value is false.
addSelectedObjects / aso		bool
	Populate the currently selected objects and their attributes to anim source or Time Editor. In query mode, return the number of attributes that will be populated given the flags, along with the animation’s first and last frames.
addSource / asc		unicode
	Add single new target attribute with its animation.
apply / ap		bool
	Connect anim source’s animation directly to the target objects. If the Time Editor is not muted, connect to scene storage instead.
attribute / at		unicode
	Populate a specific attribute on a object.
bakeToAnimSource / bas		unicode
	Create a new anim source with the same animation as this anim source. All non-curve inputs will be baked down, whereas curve sources will be shared.
calculateTiming / ct		bool
	Adjust start/duration when adding/removing sources. If query it returns the [start,duration] pair.
copyAnimation / cp		bool
	Copy animation when adding source.
drivenClips / dc		bool
	Return all clips driven by the given anim source.
exclusive / exc		bool
	Populate all types of animation sources which are not listed by typeFlag.
export / ex		unicode
	Export given anim source and the animation curves to a specified Maya file.
importAllFbxTakes / aft		bool
	Import all FBX takes into the new anim sources (for timeEditorAnimSource command) or new containers (for timeEditorClip command).
importFbx / fbx		unicode
	Import an animation from FBX file into the new anim source (for timeEditorAnimSource command) or new container (for timeEditorClip command).
importFbxTakes / ft		unicode
	Import multiple FBX takes (separated by semicolons) into the new anim sources (for timeEditorAnimSource command) or new containers (for timeEditorClip command).
importMayaFile / mf		unicode
	Import an animation from Maya file into the new anim sources (for timeEditorAnimSource command) or new containers (for timeEditorClip command).
importOption / io		unicode
	Option for importing animation source. Specify either ‘connect’ or ‘generate’. connect: Only connect with nodes already existing in the scene. Importing an animation source that does not match with any element of the current scene will not create any clip. (connect is the default mode). generate: Import everything and generate new nodes for items not existing in the scene.
importPopulateOption / ipo		unicode
	Option for population when importing.
importedContainerNames / icn		unicode
	Internal use only. To be used along with populateImportedAnimSourcesto specify names for the created containers.
includeRoot / irt		bool
	Populate transform (Translate, Rotate, Scale) of hierarchy root nodes.
isUnique / iu		bool
	Return true if the anim source node is only driving a single clip.
populateImportedAnimSources / pia		unicode
	Internal use only. Populate the Time Editor with clips using the Animation Sources specified (use ; as a delimiter for multiple anim sources).
poseClip / poc		bool
	Populate as pose clip with current attribute values.
recursively / rec		bool
	Populate selection recursively, adding all the children.
removeSceneAnimation / rsa		bool
	If true, remove animation from scene when creating clips or anim sources. Only Time Editor will drive the removed scene animation.
removeSource / rs		unicode
	Remove single attribute.
showAnimSourceRemapping / sar		bool
	Show a remapping dialog when the imported anim source attributes do not match the scene attributes.
takeList / tl		unicode
	Internal use only. To be used along with populateImportedAnimSourcesto specify the imported take names.
takesToImport / toi		unicode
	Internal use only. To be used along with populateImportedAnimSourcesto specify the imported take indices.
targetIndex / ti		unicode
	Get target index.
targets / trg		bool
	Get a list of all targets in this anim source.
type / typ		unicode
	Only populate the specified type of animation source. Flag can have multiple arguments, passed either as a tuple or a list.

Derived from mel command maya.cmds.timeEditorAnimSource

Example:

::

import pymel.core as pm

import maya.cmds as cmds def setKey(time, value):

pm.currentTime(time) pm.setAttr(‘cube.tx’, value) pm.setKeyframe(‘cube.tx’)

pm.file(f=True, new=True) pm.polyCube(name=’cube’) setKey( 1, 0) setKey( 5, -5) setKey(10, 5)

# Add cube.translateX with its animation to the anim source and calculate and save timing afterwards pm.timeEditorAnimSource(“AnimSourceNode”, edit=1, addSource=”cube.translateX”, calculateTiming=1)

# Add cube.translateX with a copy of its animation to the anim source pm.timeEditorAnimSource(“AnimSourceNode”, edit=1, addSource=”cube.translateX”, copyAnimation=1)

# Remove cube.translateX from the anim source pm.timeEditorAnimSource(“AnimSourceNode”, edit=1, removeSource=”cube.translateX”)
