Hi

I do pretty much all animations that are done in segments of anywhere from 500 to 4000 frames.

The problem I keep running into is that the first and last frames keep changing slightly.

Some times it's just the hair moving a little or the angle of the head changes just a bit.

I start each segment from the last frame of the previous segment and I have learned that if I save the frame as a pose I can usually restore it to the original setting when it gets changed but... Not always.

It would be really nice if I could lock the first and last frame of a segment to that no matter what I do tweaking the animation these two frames would never, ever change.

Then the segments would always sync no matter how much I mess around with them.

Anyone have any ideas?

Hi in the animation pallette select the frames ou wish to "lock"
and change their interpolation to constant they will turn from green or orange to white.

Cheers

Hi Wolf359

Thanks for the information.

I'll try that, I'm starting a new animation tomorrow.

That will be a big help, I spend a lot of time matching all the clips up when I start editing.
