Show All Animated
This command works in manual mode only.
While in manual mode, objects aren’t automatically displayed in the Timeline even if they are
animated. To quickly display all animated objects and other animated elements such as materials and
post effects in the Timeline, choose Show All Animated.
To activate the automatic mode so that all animated objects are displayed automatically, in the
Timeline, open the lock in the top right corner and choose Filter > Show Animated Objects.
Remove Object, Remove All
These commands work in manual mode only.
The Remove Objects command removes the selected objects from the Timeline. The Remove All
command removes all objects from the Timeline. Note that the removed objects are merely hidden
from the Timeline — they aren’t deleted from the scene.
To display the removed objects once more, do one of the following:
 In the Timeline, open the lock in the top right corner to switch off manual
mode.
 Drag-and-drop the objects from the Object manager into the Timeline.
 In the Timeline, choose Edit > Show All Animated when in manual mode.
Snap To Frame
This option is enabled by default and helps you to position keys and sequences accurately to frames
when moving them with the mouse. If the option is disabled, all keys and sequences can be positioned
freely between frames, without the use of time steps.
When you add a key to a sequence, the new key may replace an existing
key, regardless of whether you place the key manually or whether you use
autokeying. For example, suppose a sequence has an existing key at frame
12.23 and a new key is placed at frame 12. The original key (12.23) will be
deleted and the new key will be snapped to frame 12.
CINEMA 4D also snaps sequences and keys when scaling them. This prevents keys from being at non-
integral positions such as frame 3.476532. However, keys can be lost in the process, as demonstrated
in the following example:
 Create a sequence from frame 0 to frame 10 and create a key for each
frame.
 Scale down the sequence so that runs from frames 0 to 3 (drag the red
selection handle that is at the right edge of the sequence).
