This is the Dope Sheet. It is very similar to the Curve Editor, but its function is
the timing of keyframes rather than their value and interpolation. You can change
the timing of keyframes in the Curve Editor as well, but it is a lot more conveni-
ent here. Another function the Dope Sheet serves is changing the timing of Read
nodes—meaning clips in the timeline. (You will learn this in Chapter 8 . )
The window on the left shows the list of properties open in the Properties Bin,
which I call the Properties List window. The window on the right will show the
actual keyframes for each property, which I call the Keyframe window.
The Properties List window is hierarchical, meaning it shows the tree as sub-
menuswithinsubmenus.Thisletsyoumovegroupsofkeyframestogether,which
is very convenient when doing animation-based work.
At the moment, you are only looking at the Properties List window, Ro-
toPaint1—theonlynodethatisloadedintothePropertiesBin.Underthatyoucan
see the submenu Curves, representing all the animation curves available, in the
same way as it was presented in the Curve Editor. Let's see what else is in there.
10. Click the little + symbol to the left of the Curves submenu in the Dope Sheet's
Properties List window.
11. Do the same for the folder clean_me.
You now see the list of brush strokes you added keyframes to ( FIGURE 6.68 ).
Figure 6.68. The list of brushes displays in the left window.
