'Point time machine' old script?

Post by Víctor Paredes »

Hi, I'm looking for an old script that could be very useful for heavy point animation based lipsync I'm working on.
It's hard to describe, but I'll try:

- Let's say you are in a vector layer at frame 50 and you want to copy the vector pose from frame 20.
- With this script, being at frame 50, over the workspace you drag the mouse to the left. Without moving the timeline, the script will start showing you all the past movement of that layer while you drag (49, 48, 47, 46, 46... 21, 20).
- When you stop dragging, it will create keyframes in frame 50. So if you stop at frame 20, that information from frame 20 will be copied to frame 50.

Does anyone remember it? could you help me to find it? Thanks thanks thanks :)

Check this link / Click on Moho scripts would initiate an automatic download of a zip file where in Tools you'll find the PTM script

I can't remember what would be David's user name here but the search did not provide any additional answers either. Hope he would not mind this re-linking
