Visual keyframe feedback

Visual keyframes can display with different colors. They can be completely one color or partly colored.

When keyframes are completely colored, they are related to a clip of the same color in the Story window.

A keyframe with a colored tip indicates that either all the properties affected by the Full Body keying mode, the Body Part keying mode, or on a Character Extension, are keyed. These partly colored keyframes come in three colors, which indicate the following:

Keyframe tip colorIndicates
RedAll properties being affected by the Full Body keying mode (or all body parts) have a key. If you remove a key from a property being affected by the Full Body keying mode, a red keyframe will turn green.
GreenAll properties being affected by the Body Part keying mode of one or many body parts have a key. If you key all properties being affected by the Full Body keying mode, a green keyframe will turn red. A green-tipped keyframe can also indicate that it is set on Character Extensions and body parts.
YellowAll properties being affected by one or many Character Extensions have a key.

In the Transport Controls window, right-click the timeline and select Visual Keys > Show Key Hint to display or hide color feedback on visual keyframes.
