Hello,

I was wondering if it is possible to save a key-frame pose then refer back to it later.

For example I have created 9 key frame poses for all the lip syncing expresions. Is it possible to easily refer back to them and 'load' / 'apply' them throughout the animation?

Thanks user added image

you can copy/paste keyframes. just right click on the keyframe in the timeline that you want to copy and paste it elsewhere in the timeline. i'm 99% sure this works. haven't animated in awhile...

you can make a shelf or a custom UI with poses you commonly use to block out animation. simple script that copy the values and set a key would do the trick.
