Properties

The content of the Properties section at the bottom of the Inspector depends on the selection state in the Selection Overview. All parameters for the selected item(s) are displayed here.

To quickly access a parameter, the workflow is generally as follows:

• Select one or more layers in the Timeline or in the Viewer
• Select one or more items in the Selection Overview
• Manipulate the parameters of selected items in the Properties section

Revealing a Parameter in the Timeline

The Timeline is designed to display all the parameters of a layer, unlike the Inspector which lets you filter and display them by category, for faster access. However, we often need to access a parameter in the Timeline in order to animate it and manage its keyframes, for example.

To do this, simply right-click on a parameter in the Inspector and select Reveal in Timeline:

You can also press the X key after selecting a parameter:

The video above shows that this option is also available when an item is selected in the Selection Overview. This allows you to access a parameter very quickly, whatever its level in the Tree.

Editing Several Parameters at the Same Time

Several parameters of the same type can be selected for editing at the same time:

Keep in mind that parameters must be of the same type. Selecting a Position, which by default is a 2D parameter, at the same time as a rotation, which is a 1D parameter, makes no sense.

On the other hand, if the Position is switched to Separated mode, it will be represented by two 1D parameters (X and Y), making multi-edition possible.
