Page Reference
Documentation for every major page in Ordinary Animator, grouped by entity in sidebar order.
Ordinary Animator is organised around entities -- projects, characters, locations, props, episodes, scenes, and shots. You move between them from the sidebar down the left edge, and most entities have several views (Media, Properties, Timeline, and so on) that you switch between from the page header. See Navigation for how the sidebar, lists, views, and recent visits fit together.
The pages below are grouped by entity, in the same order as the sidebar.
