Picked (keyframe) point in timeline not showing up.

Post by gdub »

On the timeline, when I pick a point in an animation, the picked point shows up red in the timeline.
Somehow that managed to get turned off and it doesn't work anymore. The consolidated feature shows everything, but I want to see just the point I picked.
How do I fix that?

Consolidated is supposed to do that: collapse everything into a single timeline. So you want to unconsolidate the timeline.

To unconsolidate the timeline, go to Animation and uncheck Consolidate Layer Channels. You can also do this by right-clicking on the channel icons in the Timeline.

BTW, I rarely need to use Consolidated view. About the only time I use this mode is to retime a project's entire timeline, and that's pretty rare.

If you just want to hide a bunch of channels that you don't need to see, go to View>Timeline Channels, and deactivate the channels you don't wish to see.

For example, I recommend switching off all the Colored Bones channels. These channels take up a ton of space in the Timeline, and they are generally unneeded to animate in Moho. (FWIW, I never have these channels enabled, and I use Moho for production work every day.) To do this, select a Bones layer, and then choose View>Timeline Channels. Next, scroll down to Colored Bones and set all the channels to OFF (the minus sign.)

When you do this, you will still see the channels for all bones (in white,) and for selected bones (in red), and you will no longer see the redundant information for every colored bones.

Hope this helps.

Thank you so much!
I must have clicked something that changed that setting.
