# Delete Every nth Frame

Selecting this option will open a dialog window in which you can define which frames on selected tracks should be deleted. Enter 2 to delete every 2nd frame, 5 to delete every 5th frame and so on. This setting can be useful to thin out **.bhv** files (motion capture file format) on import since these tend to create a key for each frame of animation.
