Subject: How to Copy Paste key frames


Pol ( ) posted Sun, 24 September 2006 at 5:08 PM · edited Wed, 02 October 2024 at 12:10 PM

Hi,

I'm very new to Poser 6.

I've got an action of 300 frames with 2 characters that I would like to repeat 2 times.

Can I just copy the first 300 frames and paste the entire scene 2 times.  If so how I select the 2 characters and not just the body or parts...?

Thanks

either that, or render the animation and concatenate a copy of it onto the end of the original.

First make sure that you at least triple (to 900) the frame ending in the little boxes at the top of the animation palette.

Then in the key editor I usually do this:

(And I might add Poser badly needs to improve and simplify this process)

I select the 1st figure and body parts in their entirety.
Now this is not always an easy thing as the editor is only small and so the window has to scroll - and it scrolls fast so I usually overshoot the last bodypart and have to start over several times.  So now I start the selection from the bottom right-hand corner - that is the last body part (usally the left toe) and the last frame of it - so the bottom right of all the frames for that figure. Then diagonally drag upwards to the top left - that is the name of the figure where the boxes contain all those  minus signs.

Then I press ctrl+c to copy the frames.

Next- back in the top row with the minus signs and after the last frame of the extant keyframes I usually apply a spline break and in the following box press Ctrl+v  to paste the copied frames.

Each figure has to go through the same process separately otherwise funky things can happen.

When you play back to see the anim, make sure you extend the Play range arrow all the way to the new end frame or you won't see the additions.

Hope this speeds up the process for you.:)
