*********
Animation
*********
The *Animation* section lets you manage settings related to :doc:`Animation </animation/index>`.
This includes how editors look and also some different tools properties.
.. figure:: /images/editors_preferences_section_animation.png
Blender Preferences Animation section.
Timeline
========
These settings control things in the :doc:`Timeline </editors/timeline>`.
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesEdit.use_negative_frames:
Allow Negative Frame
Playback and animations can occur during negative frame ranges.
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesView.view2d_grid_spacing_min:
Minimum Grid Spacing
The minimum number of pixels between grid lines.
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesView.timecode_style:
Timecode Style
Format of timecodes displayed when not displaying timing in terms of frames.
:Minimal Info:
Most compact representation, uses '+' as separator for sub-second frame numbers,
with left and right truncation of the timecode as necessary.
:SMPTE (Full): Full SMPTE timecode (format is HH:MM:SS:FF).
:SMPTE (Compact):
SMPTE timecode showing minutes, seconds, and frames only
-- hours are also shown if necessary, but not by default.
:Compact with Decimals:
Similar to SMPTE (Compact), except that the decimal part of the second is shown instead of frames.
:Only Seconds: Direct conversion of frame numbers to seconds.
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesView.view_frame_type:
Zoom to Frame Type
Defines what time range (around the cursor) will be displayed
when the *View Frame* :kbd:`Numpad0` is performed.
:Keep Range:
The currently displayed time range is preserved.
:Seconds:
The number of seconds specified in the *Zoom Seconds* field will be shown around the cursor.
:Keyframes:
The number of animation keyframes defined in the *Zoom Keyframes* field will be shown around the cursor.
Keyframes
=========
These settings control :doc:`Keyframes </animation/keyframes/index>`
which are the building blocks for animations.
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesEdit.key_insert_channels:
Default Key Channels
Which channels to insert keys at when no keying set is active.
:Location: Inset keyframes for an object's :ref:`Location <bpy.types.Object.location>`.
:Rotation: Inset keyframes for an object's :ref:`Rotation <bpy.types.Object.rotation>`.
:Scale: Inset keyframes for an object's :ref:`Scale <bpy.types.Object.scale>`.
:Rotation Mode: Inset keyframes for an object's :ref:`Rotation Mode <bpy.types.Object.rotation_mode>`.
:Custom Properties: Inset keyframes for :doc:`/files/custom_properties`.
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesEdit.use_keyframe_insert_needed:
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesEdit.use_auto_keyframe_insert_needed:
Only Insert Needed
This will only insert keyframes if the value of the property is different.
:Manual: When keying manually, skip inserting keys that don't affect the animation.
:Auto: Auto-Keying will skip inserting keys that don't affect the animation.
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesEdit.use_visual_keying:
Keyframing -- Visual Keying
When an object is using constraints, the object property value does not actually change.
*Visual Keying* will add keyframes to the object property,
with a value based on the visual transformation from the constraint.
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesEdit.use_auto_keying:
Auto-Keyframing
Enable in New Scenes
Enables *Auto Keyframe* by default for new scenes.
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesEdit.use_auto_keying_warning:
Show Warning
Displays a warning at the top right of the *3D Viewport*, when moving objects, if *Auto Keyframe* is on.
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesEdit.use_keyframe_insert_available:
Only Insert Available
This will only add keyframes to channels of F-Curves that already exist.
.. seealso::
Learn more about :ref:`Auto-Keyframing <bpy.types.ToolSettings.use_keyframe_insert_auto>`.
F-Curves
========
These settings control how :doc:`F-Curves </editors/graph_editor/fcurves/index>`
look and their default behavior.
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesEdit.fcurve_unselected_alpha:
Unselected Opacity
Controls the opacity of unselected :doc:`F-Curves </editors/graph_editor/fcurves/index>` against
the background of the Graph Editor.
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesEdit.fcurve_new_auto_smoothing:
Default Smoothing Mode
Controls the behavior of :ref:`automatic curve handles <editors-graph-fcurves-settings-handles>`
for newly created F-Curves.
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesEdit.keyframe_new_interpolation_type:
Default Interpolation
Controls the default :ref:`Interpolation <editors-graph-fcurves-settings-interpolation>`
for newly created keyframes.
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesEdit.keyframe_new_handle_type:
Default Handles
Controls the default :ref:`Handle <editors-graph-fcurves-settings-handles>` for newly created F-Curves.
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesEdit.use_insertkey_xyz_to_rgb:
XYZ to RGB
Color for X, Y, or Z animation curves (location, scale or rotation)
is the same as the color for the X, Y, and Z axis.
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesEdit.use_anim_channel_group_colors:
Channel Group Colors
Display groups and channels with colors matching their corresponding groups.
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesEdit.show_only_selected_curve_keyframes:
Only Show Selected F-Curve Keyframes
Only shows the keyframes markers on the selected curves.
.. _bpy.types.PreferencesEdit.use_fcurve_high_quality_drawing:
Use High Quality Display
Display F-Curves using :term:`Anti-Aliasing` and other effects (disable for a better performance).
