usage

QuickAdd responds to what you select in Sequencer. Click different bindings and tracks to switch between views.

Property & Track Browser

Select an actor or component binding in the Sequencer outliner (e.g., a CineCameraActor, a StaticMeshComponent, a Light). QuickAdd shows every property and track that can be added to that binding. The same list the native "+" menu shows.

• Click any property or track to add it immediately

• The menu stays open after adding. Keep clicking to add more.

• Already-added properties appear dimmed

• Use the search box at the top to filter by name

• Properties are organised by category (Activation, CameraOptions, CameraSettings, etc.)

Material Parameters

Select a material track or material element on any mesh actor. QuickAdd shows all material parameters from that material, grouped by type.

• Scalar Parameters: float values like roughness, opacity, blend weights

• Vector Parameters: colours and vector values

• Texture Parameters: texture overrides

Already-added parameters are dimmed. Click any parameter to add it as a track. The list updates instantly. The parameter you just added dims and you can continue adding more.

Animation Picker

Select a skeletal mesh binding that has an animation track. QuickAdd shows a browsable asset picker filtered to animations compatible with that skeleton.

• Thumbnails show animation previews

• Search by name to find specific animations

• Click to add the animation. No popup window that closes on you.

Technical Notes

QuickAdd uses Sequencer's own ViewModel API to build the property list. Custom track types registered by other plugins appear automatically.

1. All add operations create proper undo transactions. Ctrl+Z reverses any addition.

2. The panel has no effect on packaged builds. It is editor-only.
