# Creating Animations with the Batch Universal Editor

Use the Batch Universal Channel Editor to create animations for each node, You can also synchronize the timing of animations across colour correction, keying, compositing, and other nodes in Batch. Channels in the Universal Channel Editor include most nodes present in the Batch schematic. See Creating Animation Sequences Across Nodes in Batch.

Use expressions to create complex animation effects where, for example, the position of the media's axis in the Action node is affected by the position of a vertex for a garbage mask. See Working with Expressions in the Channel Editor.

1. Do one of the following:
   - Tap the right swipe bar.
   - Select Channels from the View box.
