Subject: P 2010 copy/paste/delete keyframes


Trollzinho ( ) posted Thu, 25 March 2010 at 7:15 PM · edited Wed, 29 January 2025 at 2:12 PM

I'm having some trouble with it. A lot of the time I try to copy and paste keyframes it actually address the scene and not the keyframe window, and so the keyframe itself is not copied and pasted but whatever object I have selected. Same if I try to delete a keyframe. It will ask me if I really mean to delete the figure. But sometimes it works, though most of the time it doesn't. Anyone having this same issue?

Does anyone know of a way to copy and paste keyframes in PP 2010, or is this just an issue with Trollzinho and I?
In P7 I could get the feature to work if I selected something other than whatever I was trying to copy from or past to, but I can't get it to work in PP 2010.** ** If I select a single **a single keyframe of a figure (along with an empty adjacent space so as not to activate the figure) I can paste most of the info to another figure - though sometimes I need to open the figure to repete the copy/paste for another part- for instance the head,  but I havn't found a way to do multiplr kryframes.

Man! what is up with that BOLD button?  It turned itself on, and I can't turn it off...

Anyway,  I realy need a way to copy multiple frames.  I can't save the animation as a pose, and then just add it to the figure, because that messes up hands and feet due to IK.

Aparently my problem happened only when I tried to use Layers. If I don't touch the layers, everything works fine. Too bad, layers are so useful...

This might help. To duplicate an action, we select the appropriate keyframes by clicking and dragging, or by clicking then shift-clicking, as if we were selecting cells on a spreadsheet. Now, choose Copy from the Edit menu to copy the frame values.

 Thats from http://poser.smithmicro.com/tutorials/animation_basics.html. You might try searching around that site they may have more.

  Sorry if it doesn't help, or if you already know this info.

I tried that. It just acts on the scene instead of the timeline.

So, if anyone is looking at this thread to find a solution to the copy/paste not working in PP 2010, I have discovered the solution- at least for my system. I had to employ the help of the SmithMicro troubleshooters to get the answer, which makes me feel a little stupid- since the answer was so simple.

 

In P7, the only way I could copy and past key-frames was with the Edit drop down menu. The keyboard had no effect. However, with PP 2010, the exact opposite is true. The drop down menu doesn't work, and the keyboard- which is my preferred method- works like a charm!

 

I haven't tried this with different layers, but I guess I haven't found layers to be useful with my work-flow. Perhaps someone can enlighten me on the usefulness of layers- because the way I tried to use them just made the whole animation process more complicated without any benefit that I could see.

I wanted to use layers in P8 and after a day I gave up. I coudn't find anything where it would make the animating process easier - at least for me.
