After an animation layer is added and selected, you need to press the Setup/Animation Mode toggle button
to begin adding keys to the selected animation layer. You do this using the Auto or Set Key modes to create
the keys like normal. Any time a new animation is added, it is automatically placed above the currently
selected animation layer.
Tip
If you’re animating some of the rig bones using Auto Key and the keys don’t appear on the Track Bar, check to
make sure you have clicked the Setup/Animation Mode toggle button to enable animation. n
