  • stop keyframes from animating using an expression?

    hi guys,

    just wanted to ask, if there’s an expression to stop keyframes from animating using an expression?

    e.g. if there are 2 keyframes for the position property,
    then if i put that that certain expression, it wiLL not proceed
    to animate

    is there such an expression?

    whats the use for me? why not just deLete the keyframes right?
    but i dont want to deLete the keyframes, i wouLd Like to have an option to on/off it as i want to, if ever i change my mind to put the animation back again..

    You can just have an extremely simple expression that sets the value of the property to a constant.
