VaM 1.x How do I click on the timeline to add a new keyframe without making the character move?

Say for example I want to make a simple animation using timeline with keyframes of a woman standing with her arms by her side and lifting up each arm one at a time. Keyframe 1 would be her standing with both arms by her side. Keyframe 2 would be her raising her right arm up. However when I click the spot on the timeline to create the next keyframe, it makes her right arm move due to the looping

How do I click on the timeline to add in the next keyframe without making the character move?
 
Other than not using loop? You can copy the previous keyframe and paste it ahead of where a new keyframe will be so there's nothing to blend.

Oh wow, I feel dumb now lol. In my defense i've been using VAM for less than an hour and a half total. That was it thank you so much!

Good luck. Timeline is a beast tbh. I actually made my own plugin for more basic animation i just released free. Four Player Animator. not near as robust and time tested as timeline, but allows to edit up to four persons at once in one menu, and very basic structure. Almost a beginners tool to get more comfortable with how VAM handles animation and keyframes etc. At min, it is a great way to save four persons in a static pose at one time on one json filesave.
