The List controller makes it possible to add several controllers to a single track. It also allows you to set
Weights for each of its controllers. Using the Position List rollout, you can set the active controller and
delete controllers from the list. You also can Cut and Paste controllers to other tracks.

The top of the Motion panel includes two buttons: Parameters and Trajectories. Clicking the Parameters

For more about the Trajectories button, see Chapter 21, “Understanding Animation and Keyframes.” n
For example, Figure 22.8 shows the Assign Position Controller dialog box for selecting a controller for the
Position track. The arrow mark (>) shows the current selected controller. At the bottom of the dialog box,
the default controller type is listed. Select a new controller from the list, and click OK. This new controller
now is listed in the track, and the controller’s rollouts appear beneath the Assign Controller rollout.

Assigning controllers in the Track View
You also can use the Track View to assign controllers. To do this, locate and select the track to apply a con-
