How to erase recorded animation data

Deleting recorded keys in the timeline

* select a single point in time on the timeline and hit backspace
> selected key is deleted
> any other keys (if they exist) remain active
example 1: X;Y;Z at time 1sec are deleted

* manually select all recorded keys via the boxes on the timeline OR
* area select with a marquise OR
* Cmd+A whilst in the time panel
> hit BS
> all keys are deleted
example 2: X;Y;Z at times 1sec and time 2 sec are deleted

* you can also manual select individual points (not the boxes at the bottom, but the points on the F-spline)
* in this option the cmd-key can be used to deselect (and even to invert a selection when clicking in the time box)

* manually select a parameter / deselect other parameters
> hit BS
> only the keys for the selected parameter ale deleted
example 3: X is deleted whilst Y and Z remain active

* if you use the key editor (and not the F-curve editor) the same logics apply.
* the Undo / cmd+Z button works in case of an erroneous deletion.

Indeed, who needs documentation when everything is as obvious and intuitive? Homo sapiens would be extinct, if Adam an Eve would have had to fumble for their sex manual on their fist post-paradisic excesses:tongue:

Thanks Helmut, your explanations are always clear and concise.

I am reminded of a joke my father would tell: A man visiting Boston for the first time
has heard all about the great places to eat fish. So he asks a cab driver "Where can I get scrod"?
The cab driver looks at him and says "Wow I never heard it in the past pluperfect before"!

 
Hi Zoohead
I do appreciate your father´s fishy joke.
Anybody who can extract wit and humour from the stumbling mine-field of grammar probably produces equally intelligent and witty offspringlets for the next generation:rolleyes:
