Action is divided into a number of menus and sections designed to help you quickly create your composites.
You can change the orientation to view a scene from many angles. This can help you set up motion paths, light sources, and camera angles more easily.
From the View box, select an option to set the view in the image window.
(a) View box
Most of the View box options have keyboard shortcuts displayed in the expanded list. Some of these keyboard shortcut options are also cycle options. For example, pressing F5 repeatedly cycles through the animation channels, tracks, and info views.
You can also toggle ` (on the Tilde key) to alternate between the Schematic view and the previous view.
When accessing Action through Batch or Batch FX, you also have the option of context views in the View box. Action uses Context1 as it is set in Batch or Batch FX. For example, if the Batch or Batch FX context is set on the result of an Optics node for which the current Action node is an input, changes you make in Action appear in context of the Optics node.
The left side of the Action menu houses a number of buttons that allow you to switch between the various Action sections and menus. Clicking any of these buttons opens the specific Action section, such as the Node Bin or Output menu.
