copying keyframes
 

Hello.
I have just started animating and wandering the reasons why if i select all keyable, then copy and paste frames does the copied frame mangle completely. (see attachment)
Is there any way to stop this? Is it due to the rotations rotating again?
Any info on this subject would be much appreciated.
thanks

by the way when i do this i am selecting a frame where all keyable are keyed, then copying and pasting with all keyable selected

ok mate,
what was the animation too do?
I may be able to help considering my Specialty iz animation.
im not sure what youare doing but when i copy frames i select my 1st frame and last of that sequence.making the same amout of frams so like 1 10 - 10 20 i past 1 on 10 but the 10 on 20 it copys that way too.
if this hasent helped just say i will try to help you more.
cya mate

Thanks for that info.
i have found that if i right click the frame and then move it to wherever in the timeline i can copy it like that.

you can also select a frame with a keyframe and then middle mouse drag to a new frame on the time line (Maya wont update it's screen) so you can then rekey the value at that new point.

Hi matmonkfish,

have you e.g. tried to use the DopeSheet, it is quite usefull when copying keyframes... :)
