Channel table
The table view of the channel editor lets you view channel values at keyframes. You can also use the graph view and the dopesheet view to edit animation. To switch between these views, use the buttons in the top left corner of the pane.
-
Each column is a keyframe.
-
The column heading shows the frame number.
-
Each row is a scoped parameter.
-
The first column (with a purple heading) lists the parameter values at the current frame.
-
Cells where a parameter has a keyframe are editable. Other cells are read-only and show the value for the parameter at that frame.

Channels menu
When a channel is displayed, it means that it is visible for viewing/editing in the channel editor’s graph, table, and dopesheet panes. This status is also indicated by the colored background of the channel name in the channel list. Clicking on the colored background of the channel toggles its display status.
