Which bone goes to which key frame?

Post by uncle808us »

Hi I'm still learning to animate in Anime Studio Pro Ver.11.2.1
I'm animating bones in a figure, At one spot in the timeline I moved the neck bone, the arm bone and foot bone.
Now I move to another place in the time line and move the leg bone.
Now I'd like to go back to the neck bone key frame and use option drag to hold the neck movement up to the leg bone key frame.
I do not want to hold the arm and foot bones but only the neck bone . How do I find just the keyframe node for only the neck so I can option drag it and only it?
Thank you.
I use a MacBook Pro, and Anime Studio Pro 11.2

I am a noob but I'll try to help you. The first thing you have to know is that in, order to show the keyframes of a layer on the timeline, you need to have that layer selected on the layers panel. So select the bone layer and you will see all the bone keyframes but you still don't know wich one is the neck bone keyframe. To see that just pick the Select Bone tool and select the neck bone. Now you still see all the bone keyframes but the red ones are for the elements you selected (in this case the bone but you can do this with points too for example).
