Small frictions eat your day
You want to polish only the Z location of 40 objects, and you dig through a channel list a mile long.
You need everything after frame 120 two frames later, so you box-select, grab and hope you didn't miss a key.Fifty objects should bounce one after another, and you offset them one by one.
None of this is hard. It's just slow, and it breaks your flow a hundred times a day.Oh My Graph turns each of these into one click or one key.
What you get
-
Isolate any channel. Location, Rotation, Scale, X, Y, Z with one click or
Alt+1…6. Lock them the same way. Works on objects and bones, Euler, quaternion and axis-angle. - Stagger in one click. Cascade 50 objects, or the bones of a tail, a few frames apart. Order by hierarchy, name, distance, axis or random.
-
Retime without selecting a key.
Ctrl+Alt+→inserts a frame at the playhead,Ctrl+Alt+←removes one. It never crushes existing keys. -
Nudge keys with
Alt+←/→(with Shift for 5 frames), like every other animation package. - Loops and cycles. Repeat keys with a value offset for walk cycles. Make Loop Seamless gives you a perfect loop in one click.
- Clean poses. Share Keys, Distribute, Randomize (value and timing, with a seed), Purge Flat Channels.
- Everything on D. A pie menu in the Graph Editor and Dope Sheet, and nowhere else.

Why I made it
Oh My Graph was meant to be my big mission. Luckily and unluckily at the same time, Blender itself added most of the features I had planned, and for a while that took the wind out of my sails. But I came back with a new goal: make an animator's life easier wherever Blender still leaves a gap.
Before every release it is installed into a clean Blender 4.5 and 5.2 and checked by an automated test suite on Windows and Linux.
