isolate animated objects
Can I ask what techniques people use to increase the effeciency of viewing animated objects.
There doesn’t appear to be a way of having just the selected object animate in the timeline. I’ve got ‘refresh active view only’ selected in the preferences, but apart from that, and copying out objects individually into a new project, how do you speed things up when working on a complex scene?
Thanks Alan

Not sure if I understand the question correctly…Are you mostly wanting to filter out all the objects from the timeline that are not animated and/or simply showing a single object in the timeline?. If thats the case… In the timeline window, near the upper right corner, click on the “lock” icon, it should turn black. everyhing in the timeline window will dissappear. Right click (PC) in the left portion of the timeline window and the dropdown will show you options, “show all animated” “remove all”…. etc. also, if you remove all and you want to work on a single object, you can then drag in an object from the object menu.

Try Yoshiaki Imaizumis SOLO plug in

Thanks Paul, yes I’ve got the Solo plug but that hides everything in the viewer, whereas I’m just after freezing it temporarily. Like Max’s ‘animate selected’.

Sorry Bear I didn’t make it very clear did I 🙂
It’s the viewport I was talking about, I understand about locking the timeline etc.
I was enquiring generally about how best to direct the processor efficiently to isolate the animating task in hand rather than waste it’s time with the rest of the scene. I was wondering if anyone had developed workflows that help with this.
Cheers Alan
