SaveKey -> Branch

The SaveKey -> Branch subcommands in the Motion module allow you to create keyframe animation for the transformation of all objects forming a branch in a hierarchy. This allows you to choose the SaveKey command once instead of several times.

Refer to FcrvSelect -> Object for a description of the parameters.

For more information on creating keyframes, see the Creating Keyframes section of the Animating User's Guide.
