To cancel the recording of the snapshot, click the close button on the Stop Rig Edit Mode
window. When you stop recording, changes made to parameters are saved, but no new
parameters are added to the widget.
Note: Each parameter can be controlled by only one widget. After a parameter is assigned to a
widget, you cannot assign that parameter to additional widgets.
You can add parameters to a widget after a snapshot is created by clicking the Start Rig Edit
Mode button again and making changes to new parameters, or by manually adding parameters
to the widget. See
Control rigs from parameter Animation menus on page 381.
Important: After a parameter is added to a widget, changes made to that parameter modify the
selected snapshot even if Rig Edit Mode is stopped, and even if the Widget Inspector is not visible.
