    Anyone know of a quick method of reversing a sequence of keyframes without dragging each one individually?

    I need to reverse a sequence with several tracks on different objects, but cannot seem to find a way in the timeline.

    Thanks,

    Stu

    Heres a method: go to F-curves, drag in the objects to be reversed, select all (make certain they are all highlighted) then go to curves/ mirror X, ( it seems like Y would be the correct choice, but X works for me)
    I bet there’s an easier way to do this, there are some really useful keyframe plug-ins out there, like offset and timeline tools…
    Let us know if you find an easier way..
    best regards

    Cheers Bear!

    Works a treat (but not on PLA for some reason).

    There must be a more simple way, but the C4D manual is possibly the worst in the world in my opinion, so I’m going to0 keep looking.

    The easiest way is to select all the keyframes in the timeline view then select Functions>Move/Scale and enter a value of -1.
    This reverses the frames but you will have to move them further up the timeline as this reverses about the start of the sequence.
