keyframe stretching

[Rafael Amador]

Hi Rick,
You have to use the function “Paste Atributes”. If you have animated some parameters (transparency, crop, motion..) in a clip you can translate the same key-frames to other clip in two fashions:
– One that translate the k-frames in the same position of the original clip.
– Other that distribute those k-frames to adapt to the lenth of the new clip. I think this is the method that you are looking for , so you do not have to set by hand each k-frame to the new position.
To “Paste atributes”
– click the clip that got the k-frames you want to pass to the other clips. Then COPY (com-c).
– Click the clip where you want to paste the atributes and click option-v. You will get a window where you can select the atributes to paste.
In the top there is a little box: Scale Atributes Time.
If you let it checked, the k-frames will be spread along the new clip.
If you uncheck it you will get the same k-frames of the original clip.
Hope you understand my English.
Cheers,
Rafael

I understand you and thank you for responding,

However I think I tried that and dtill no luck.

Here’s what I did. See if you can help me (or anyone):

– I place a keyframe ten frames before the actual clip start and 10 frames after the clip end (allowing for its half of a 20 frame dissolve.
-I then copied the clip
-I then clicked the next clip and clicked paste attributes
-What results is the the first keyframe pasted either 10-20 frames before the clip start, BUT the end keyframe is pasted at the end of the clip, NOT ten frames after.

I have tried this different ways (either with the scale attribute checked or not) and the result is the same. If you try to past attribute to the original clip that already has the correct alignment, it will replace them with ones that have the wround alignment I mentioned earlier.

So that doesn’t seem to work. Any other ideas?

So just give 10 more frames duration to the new clip, and short it later.
