modifing a range of keyframes

Post by Gnaws »

Is there any way to globally modify a range of keyframes? As in, is there a way to change all items that are keyframed at keyframe 99 thru keyframe 120?

In this example that I've posted, I'd like to speed up the mouth transition. But this involves several keyframed (mouth) layers. I was wondering if there was somewhere in the app I could move everything from frame 6 - 18 *forward* or *backwords* a specified amount of frames?

Here's my example:

Animation>rescale keyframe


i recommend first use animation>copy current frame and copy the entire document to the current frame (this will create keyframmes in all the animation channels). and make the same with the last frame.

for example, you want to rescale since frame 10 to frame 20. you want this be now since frame 10 to frame 40.
so you first create keyframes in frame 10 and then in frame 20. after that, you select rescale keyframe and select

rescale entire document
Start frame: 10 End Frame: 20
New start frame: 10 New end frame: 40


sorry, it's difficult to me explain you in english. i hope help.

Hi Selgin - you're absolutely correct. I used Animation > Rescale Keyframes.... and it worked beautifully.

i recommend first use animation>copy current frame and copy the entire document to the current frame (this will create keyframmes in all the animation channels). and make the same with the last frame.
But I don't really follow how "Copy Current Frame..." would've helped.

Sorry again for being such a noob. :oops:

Two more English expressions for you to look up:

"Exhibition pronounced success"

and

"That pie is a trifle tart"

just kidding... :)
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?
