The channel list lets you work with parameters, and makes it easy to edit values and channel groups, and manage the currently scoped parameters.

Tip

The channel list is also available as a sub-pane of the animation editor .

The Channel Group list shows all channel groups. Press on a group to see a context menu for the group.

The Parameter list shows the parameters on the selected objects and/or in the selected channel groups. Select parameters in the list to scope them.

When you select objects, the channel list shows parameters of the object that either are keyed already, or are marked "auto scope". "Auto scope" is a property of commonly-animated parameters that makes them automatically show up in the channel list. See auto-scope parameters.

In addition to the value-editing techniques and shortcuts available in the parameter editor, you can also select multiple value boxes at once in the parameter list and type or use the value ladder to change them all at once.

Press in one of the sub-panes to show commands and options specific to the sub-pane. Press on items in the lists to show commands and options for the item.
