John, Do you know of a way to copy a key frame to other frames ? For example, if you have a keyframe with settings which you want to duplicate at other locations in the animation, it would be nice to be able to copy that keyframe's settings. I suppose I could edit the scene file and just copy and paste the keyframe info and change the frame names, but I was hoping for a simpler solution. Thanks.

I always hit enter, then change the number in the create key requester…

Jim, PMFJI, but have you tried saving the envelope within the motion graph window? This will save every aspect of the motion for a particular object; then you can load the envelope into the motion graph for any other object in that animation or any other animation. Jerry

Simply go to the frame you want to duplicate and hit the enter key to create a new key. Type in the frame number you wish to have it duplicated at. JG

If you ever need to edit the scene file I would suggest you be careful. I have done it on several ocasions and if you don't do it right it will crash the machine. <<< Tony D.

Thanks for the warning, Tony. I didn't know that was a possibility. The worst I've had so far was some messed up keyframes from a bad edit.

Jim, It never hurts to make a backup copy of the scene file before editing it. Brent
