how to show switch layer key frames automatically

[peng]

showing the switch layer key frames together with the normal keyframes is always a pain . If i have a lot of switch layers under one rig, i always have to select them one by one in order to show their key frames. if i select the always show keyframes for that switch layer then the switch layer key frames will always be visible in the timeline then all the switch layer key frames from all the characters visible all the time.

Just want to know if anyone has created a plugin to tackle that problem?

thank you very much

If you select all the intended layers (including the Switch layer itself), they will all show keyframes in the timeline.

thank you for the tip, but i still hope that moho allows me to show all the keyframes automatically when i select the master rig layer.

Normally, I only want to see keyframes for the layers I'm actively editing. When I need to see the keyframes for two or more layers at once, I select them and enable Timeline Visibility for them. Timeline Visibility keeps the enabled layers visible even when they are not selected.

Use the Search box to show all the Switch layers in a project at once. Kind and Tags are a good way to reveal all the Switch layers. Sometimes, I use a code in the layer's name. When the Switch layers are revealed, enable Timeline Visibility for them.

I have my own method for quickly selecting Switch layers and loading them into the Switch Selection window. I'll post the script with instructions for using it in the near future.

I think you can use the Layer Comps window to create a preset for Timeline Visibility groups, but I've never gotten that to work. Or...it could be that I've misunderstood what the TV options in the Layer Comps window are for. (I should look this up.)

If you REALLY want all the layers to be visible all the time, I suppose you can enable Timeline Visibility for everything. But, TBH, that's a chaotic way to work in Moho. To me, the less data I see at one time works better and faster for me. This is the big reason I completely disable Color Bones in Timeline Channels...all that data in the timeline is completely unnecessary most of the time (or ALL of the time for me.)

Hope this helps.

Note that the default settings limit the number of layers you can display in the timeline to 10. You can increase this in Preferences, but it's really not practical to do so for most common situations, and showing too many layers at once can hurt program performance.
