Confusion about TAKES

#1

I’ve used takes in the past, had to learn them and it worked out pretty well.
Now I think I’ve forgotten a few things and it looks so confusing all of a sudden.

Basically, I have a few takes, the main take a few more.
I’ve added an object while in the main take and animated it. But now I want to exclude the new object from the main take and keep it only in a sub-take. Problem is, when I switch to the sub-take the animation track is gone. The object is still animated but I can’t tweak the animation. It has to do with the lock-override I think but no matter whether I switch it on or off, the animation is still locked.

I don’t think you’re missing anything, whilst on a sub take, you cannot edit keyframes of parent takes.

Thanks @3DFluff

So, the reason why I cannot modify the animation is because I animated the new object while I was in the main take. I should have animated it in the sub-take directly. And apparently there’s no workaround at this point. Bummer :frowning:
