expanding keyframes?
Say I have a set of keyframes that last 1 min but I need the same set of keyframes to happen over the course of 2 minutes. So that the animation will be slower and fill up a 2 minute time period. Is there a way to take keyframes and stretch them so that they stay proportionate to each other in the time line but expand to a new time. Understand? I got a slideshow to get done for a wedding today if anyone could help that would be great. Otherwise I guess i do it manually.
Thanks

Just select them all and Alt + drag the last one to 2 seconds. Is that what you mean?

You need to copy the keyframes, paste then into the new layer, then change the keyframes into “Roving Keyframes”. This will allow you to stretch them evenly over time.
Select all the keyframes (draw a little marquee with you pointer), copy. Now Paste them into the new, longer layer. Now select the interior keyframes (all the ones in the middle, between the outside keyframes). Like if there are five keyframes, select the three in the middle.
Animation>Keyframe Interpolation, open the keyframe interpolation box,
Change the bottom drop-down from “Lock To Time” to “Rove Across Time”.
Now when you drag either of the end keyframes, the ones in the middle will move proportionately.Off Subject: I love the way AE handles keyframes, I’m hoping they can bring some of that to Flash.

Opps, I need to refresh the page, before I “Post Direct”. Dan’s is sooo much simpler.
