distribute keyframes evenly over time
Hi,
I like to break out text elements using the range selector, so I have control of individual letters more so than using animators. Essentially I end up with say 20 sets of keyframes all in 1 layer of text (This makes it easy to change my text). I’ve been distributing the keyframes manually, but the obvious problem is that say I use a 1 sec offset, and decide to change it to 15 frames. I have to move all the keyframe sets manually. Any change there’s a script out there than can take a bunch of keyframes and distribute them evenly and allow for easier adjustment? (alt control wont work because it changes each individual groups timing). To Illustrate, I have a text element with 20 characters that I want to scale up using 3 keyframes – 0, 150, 100. So I set 3 keyframes each 5 frames apart. Now I do this for each character just by copying and then changing the range selector. I end up with 20 sets of 3 keyframes. I want the 5 frames between keyframes to be constant, but the timing between each group to change. Any thoughts on that?Mike

You could use some sliders. For each set of keyframes that you think you’d want to adjust, make a slider, then make an expression that adds the slider value to the keyframes’ value.

You could do it with a script (I’m not aware of an existing one). The trick is that you can’t move keyframes, you have create a new one and delete the old one. The complexity depends on the nature of the keyframes–hold keyframes would be the easiest, eased keyframes would be a lot more work.
