Key Reducer Filter options

The Key Reducer Filter uses a different algorithm from the Smooth Filter (Butterworth) and eliminates the number of keyframes by removing unnecessary keyframes on curves.

Note:

To restore the filter default settings, click Edit > Reset Settings in the Filter window.

Time Range

Specifies the time range where the curve is simplified.

All
Simplifies the curve for the entire time range.
Selection
Lets you can select a portion of a curve, so you can apply the filter to a limited area, rather than affecting the entire curve. Hold Ctrl to select multiple areas at once.
Time Slider
Simplifies the curve for the time range defined by the Playback Start and End times of the Time Slider.
Start/End
All keys within the specified time range (start time/end time) are simplified.
Start Time

Specifies the start of the time range. This is available only if Start/End is on.

End Time

Specifies the end of the time range. This is available only if Start/End is on.

Preview
Lets you visualize the effect on your curve before you apply it. This option is on by default.
Precision Mode
Choose from two different methods to apply the filter tolerance and use the Precision slider to set a value.
Absolute
Discards keys that don't match the error tolerance specified in the Precision slider.
Percentage
Discards keys within a percentage of the curve value.
Note: You can set Percentage to 0 and converts the filter into a Constant Key Reducer to eliminate redundant keyframes.
Sync Keys on Curves
Used for sibling curves (for example, Translate X, Y, and Z) to ensure that where there is a key on one sibling, it is applied to all, keeping the keys aligned at the same frame time.
Preserve Keys by Tangent
Lets you exclude the selected tangent type(s) from filtering.
