Hello God of the Masterfull Plugin
I a question, is it possible to copy more than one keyframe at a time? In some scenes i repeat some keyframes, but dont want to loop them so i have to copy and paste them manually every few millisecs. Would it be possible to mark like 4 at onces and copy them? Or is it already possible and i'm just to stupid?
It's a little bit hidden, but it's there! I am working on a scene right now, so my screenshots won't be a fresh tutorial, but they should give you an overview of how to do it.
First, select the controllers you want to copy. In my example below, I have clicked on
Hip and
Pelvis (1), and you can tell because they both are light-colored instead of grey. Once you have all of the controllers selected that you want to copy, click on the
More... button (2) and then click
Bulk changes... (3)
Once you are in the bulk changes area, you need to choose how many keyframes you would like to copy by marking start and end values. You can use the sliders and they will automatically snap to times that exist in the controllers you have selected. In my example below, I have chosen the starting frame as 0.56 (1), and my ending frame at 1.72 (2). You can either just drag the sliders slowly left and right and count the "clicks", or you can select the keyframe dots in the timeline on the left to figure out exactly where those keyframes are. I have selected the keyframes at 1.72 (3) to show you what I mean. You can see the light-colored stripe when you click a keyframe dot, and the timer above will tell you exactly where it exists, time-wise.
You'll also note that it will tell you how many keyframes you are selecting in each controller. In my example below, you can see that I am selecting four keyframes in both the hipControl and pelvisControl (4). Those are the four keyframes starting at 0.56 and ending at 1.72. (Sorry my numbers aren't nice and even! The animation I am working on is timed to music. It turns out that at 70bpm, a half-measure is about 1.72 seconds long.)
Once you've got the range of keyframes you want to copy, simply click on the
Copy frame(s) button (5). Then head back over to your timeline, choose a time you'd like to paste the keyframes, and click the
Paste frame(s) button (5) to paste them.
Hopefully that is enough to get you by! Let me know if you have more questions!
