Properties (Track View)

Properties displays a dialog to change animation values.

The type of dialog displayed depends on the type of animation controller the selected track is using. The Properties function is unavailable if the selected track controller does not use properties, or the track selection set is incorrect.

You can also display the Key Info dialog by right-clicking a key in the Key window. Parametric controller dialogs can also be displayed by right-clicking their range bars.

The Properties button is unavailable in ambiguous cases, for example, when a key and a parametric controller item are both selected.
