Title: Question about Sequence Editor
Post by: saijeehiguchi on September 03, 2009, 08:04:21 pm
I'm a rather experienced user at anim8or. But one thing that always bugs me...

Is that in the sequence editor, Many times I want a sequence that has a certain frame reappear many times throughout the sequence.

So I was wondering if there was a way to do some kind of copy-past thing with individual frames.

select a frame, and press "ctrl + c" to copy it, or "ctrl + x" to cut it, and of course "ctrl + v" to paste it as in any other program.

You can even select a whole range of frames by holding SHIFT and clicking the first and last frame.  This will select all the frames in between.  Then you can copy and paste like hiho said.

No, that technique only works in the scene editor. But I was asking about the sequence editor.

What version are you using saijeehiguchi?  The method described by Hiho and SirBonovox works fine for me in Sequence mode, in version 0.97D.  Highlight the bones you want to copy in the key frame editor, or select the root bone to highlight the whole skeleton, select the frames you want to copy, hit ctrl+C, move to the frame you want to copy to, hit ctrl+V.

Oho. I was using 0.95 all along.

Is there anything else I should know that .97 sequence or figure editor has improved over .95?

 One advantage that v0.95 has over v0.97d is that you can drag select groups of individual keys in 0.95, whereas in 0.97d 'all' keys within the selected area are copied.
 (but this is in scene mode. am not sure about sequence mode. must try that when i get home)
 I think in the next version steve has planned, you will be able to do this, as you can in v0.95.

 This is really helpfull, crucial actually, if you just want to drag select a range of certain keys, and not all those that are within the selected area.
