Question
The ___________ in a computer animation signal the beginning and ending of an action sequence.
I think you're talking about the Slate.
The Slate is used before hand drawn and live action films also to indicate the take, director, animator, scene number, etc. I hope this answer helped.
If this is not what you're inquiring about can you get a bit more specific in your question.
Thank you,
RussellC
