    I have an object that I have keyframed to move about the screen – i want it to pause for a while then continue moving. The problem is that I moved the timeline indicator along the timeline then put in more keyframes – this did the trick. But as i added further movement further down the timeline the keyframes I added to pause the movement had no effect… please help! thanks

    You might try duplicating the keyframe where you want the pause to start and moving it to the right in the timeline. Also it might be helpful to familiarize yourself with the f-curve editor. If you flatten out the curve for x,y and z movement where you want the pause to occur, you can avoid having the objects drifting one way or another during the pause. Hope this helps.

    To copy a keyframe , just select it in the timline and command/drag to duplicate. Same way you duplicate an object in the Object Manager.
