Can i toggle off some of my motion animations, or is it all or nothing?

Question

In a sequence, I have a clip that has some position and scale keyframes. It's basically a slow zoom in to one part of the frame. There is also has a 90 degree rotation that exists, tha applies to the entire clip. I am trying to toggle off the scale/position effects, but keep the rotation effect. In Effect Controls, it seems like I only have a choice of toggling off the entirety of Motion, with no independant control to toggle on/off rotation, position, scale etc. Is there any way to do this? And related question, is there any way to temporarily toggle off all keyframed effects on any given clip in one click?

Thank you

Nest the clip.Keep.the rotation effect inside the nest.Cut the scale/position effects and paste them to the nest in the main sequence.You can then toggle on and off the scale position effects in the main sequence.

Unfortunately, muting an animation track, property, or part of an effect isn't possible, but there is a workaround. If you apply an expression to the property you want to temporarily mute, you can fill in a static value that will override keyframes.

For example, if you add an expression to the Opacity parameter and simply put a value of "100", the Opacity will remain full, regardless of how many keyframes you have. If you want to do the same for Scale or Position, which are both represented as arrays, you could put "[100, 100]" for scale and a similar looking array with position coordinates to freeze the layer.
