  Copy Animation

  Posted by Virtual Light on July 21, 2007 at 8:37 pm

  I’m one week into using C4D-10 so be kind. I’ve got a rigged model of a reindeer and need to animate the legs. I’ve completed one of the front legs (5 joints) and want to copy the animation to the other, then appropriately offset the keyframes. All keyframes are rotations but at different times for each joint.

  Can you tell me how to do this?

  if you are looking at your timeline with all the key frames for the animated leg … highlight them all (ctrl a) then copy them (ctrl c) go to the timeline for the next leg and paste the key frames (ctrl v) then drag them to where you want them to be.

  it seems to be that you cannot copy keyframes onto an oject if it does not have at least one key frame already.

  Thanks Randy, that was the problem–no initial keyframe.

  You don’t have to have an initial keyframe; ctrl + shift + drag the keyframes to copy the keys and track in one go.
