User Manual

To copy and paste keyframes from one spline to another:
1 Make one spline the active visible spline and select the desired keyframes on
the spline.
2 Right-click over the spline and choose Copy Points from the contextual menu or press
Command-C.
3 Set the spline to viewed or disabled using the status checkbox next to the spline’s
name in the header.
4 Make the destination spline the active visible spline and select the keyframe on the
spline where the new keyframes should be pasted.
5 Right-click and choose Paste Points/Value or press Command-V.
You can copy a single point’s value from a group of selected points. Since this process does not
deselect the selected set, you can continue picking out values as needed without having to
reselect points.
To copy and paste a keyframe value:
1 Make one spline the active visible spline and select all the keyframes on the spline.
2 Right-click over a single point and choose Copy Value from the contextual menu.
3 Set the spline to viewed or disabled using the status checkbox next to the spline’s
name in the header.
4 Make the destination spline the active visible spline and select the keyframe on the
spline where the new keyframe should be pasted.
5 Right-click and choose Paste Points/Value or press Command-V.
Keyframes can also be pasted with an offset, allowing you to duplicate a spline shape but
increase the values or shift the timing using an offset to X or Y.
To paste keyframes points and values with an X or Y offset:
1 Make one spline the active visible spline and select the desired keyframes on
the spline.
2 Right-click over the spline and choose Copy Points from the contextual menu or press
Command-C.
3 Set the spline to viewed or disabled using the status checkbox next to the spline’s
name in the header.
4 Make the destination spline the active visible spline and select the keyframe on the
spline where the new keyframes should be pasted.
5 Right-click and choose Paste with Offset. In the Offset dialog, enter the Y value, which
will be added to the values of the pasted keyframes.
TIP: You cannot copy and paste between different spline types. For instance, you
cannot copy from a Bézier spline and paste into a B-spline.
