Toolbar References
Harmony has several toolbars. There are two types of toolbars: the top toolbars available at the top of the interface and the view toolbars in individual windows. View toolbars are only shown if the particular view is displayed in the workspace. This is a complete list of the toolbars available in Harmony.
Top Toolbars
The Advanced Animation toolbar contains tools to position and animate layers. The Scale, Translate and Rotate tools can be used to reposition the permanent pivot position of a layer. Unlike the Transform tool, each tool in the Advanced Animation toolbar performs a single operation, either rotate, scale, translate or scale in relation to the camera distance.
The Deformation toolbar contains the various tools and options used to create a deformation rig. This toolbar is displayed in the default interface.
By default, the Deformation toolbar only contains the essential options. If you right-click on the toolbar and select Customize, you can add additional buttons
The Edit toolbar contains common operations such as Copy, Paste, Cut, Undo and Redo. These options can also be found in the Edit menu.
The File toolbar contains the common file operations such as New, Save and Open. These options can also be found in the File menu.
The Playback toolbar lets you play back animation and sound. Use it to scrub the sound to create your lip-sync, loop the playback, navigate through frames, and change the playback range and speed.
The Scripting toolbar lets you import and access the scripts created to automate actions and operations.
The Tools toolbar contains all of the main tools you will use while working in Harmony. In the default workspace, you will find this toolbar on the left-most side of the interface.
The first time you open Harmony, the default workspace is loaded. Other workspaces are available such as the Hand-Drawn Animation and Compositing workspaces; these display different views and toolbars. You can access these workspaces and any you create, from the Windows menu and the Workspace toolbar.
