Here's a little Python script that solves a little problem. Supposedly you should be able to make lights hold steady through an animation, or to wipe out any moves you imposed on them accidentally or otherwise, by just unchecking the Animating box in the light property box. That may work for somebody, but it doesn't work for me. So this PY script takes care of making all lights stand still, in the position and properties given in frame 1. Just activate the script and it freezes the lights. As usual, the MESSAGE***.TXT needs to be renamed to LIGHTSTILL.PY before using.

Incidentally, it would be easy to make variations on this, to force all Props, or all Figures, or the current Actor, to hold still while everything else retains motion. Anybody want those?

Here's the variation for Figure. If you have several figures, props and so on, and you realize that you've screwed up the movements of one figure, this will let you hold that one still while leaving the rest of the scene moving as before. Select a figure and activate the script. Rename the MESSAGE***.TXT to FigStill.PY before using.

Thank you ockham. This will probably help me a lot. And save precious time. Recommending you for Sainthood, Regards, Q

A belated thank you B)

Here's one more variation to complete the set. This one is PROPSTILL.PY, and it freezes the single currently selected Actor, whether that Actor is a prop, a light, a camera, or a body part.
