What do you want to know? You use it to adjust animation in a timeline view.

The Track View — Dope Sheet editor displays keyframes over time on a horizontal graph. This graphical display simplifies the process of adjusting animation timing because you can see all keys at once in a spreadsheet-type format.

You can select any or all of the keys in a scene, scale them, move them, copy and paste them or otherwise work directly here, rather than working with objects in viewports. You can choose to select the keys for children, or subtree or both, so you can make simple changes that affect many objects and their keys at once.

Dope Sheet allows for soft-selection of keys which is very useful when working with motion capture data that has keys on every frame.

Dope Sheet provides tools for working directly with Time. You can Select, Cut, Copy, Paste, Insert and Reverse Time using the tools found on the Time menu.

Use F5 to switch from Dope Sheet to Curve Editor.



I still don't understand :(. But i see it's related to the curve editor, does that mean those two are something similar?

When i try to change stuff on the dopesheet, then nothing happends and i'm totaly confused! When i do stuff with the curve editor, then it obeys me very good (thanks to the ball tutorial).

Even if "went throgh" that dope sheet tutorial i still idd'nt get anything, totaly confused.

Is dope sheet more usble then the curve editor? what's the diffrent between those 2?
Where are there more tutorials about this dope sheet? Which one of those 2 are really important?

thanks!
