The Spreadsheet Editor
The Spreadsheet Editor is located beneath the timeline editor. To reveal it, click on the Show>Hide Spreadsheet button in the toolbar. The spreadsheet will appear at the bottom of the timeline interface.
To resize the display of the spreadsheet, place the mouse pointer over the border between the spreadsheet and the rest of the timeline. The pointer icon will change to a two-headed arrow. Click-drag the border to resize the available space reserved for the spreadsheet.
Selecting A Tool To Edit
To display a tool's timing in the spreadsheet, select the tool in the timeline editor. The in and out points of the selected tool will appear in the keyframe's line of the spreadsheet. Clicking on the cell that contains the value will make it possible to edit that value. This has the same effect as trimming the tool in the timeline.
Selecting Multiple Tools To Edit
Multiple splines and tools can be edited together in the spreadsheet. Select each tool in the timeline editor by Ctrl-clicking on the tool's name in the tree view.
Selecting Animation To Edit
To edit an animation applied to a tool in the spreadsheet editor, select the animation spline in the timeline. This will display each of the keyframes on that animation spline in the spreadsheet. The values can now be edited by clicking in the cell and typing a new value for the keyframe.
Inserting Keyframes
New keyframes can be added by clicking in an empty keyframe cell and entering the desired time for the new keyframe. The new keyframe will be inserted into the spreadsheet. A new value for the animation can now be entered.
Moving Between Cells Of The Spreadsheet
Select the Tab or Shift Tab keys to move between cells in the spreadsheet editor.
