Is it possible to move the key-frames in the timeline?

D. Arnaez

I wanted to create a person turning his head to the right. Like if someone call him. So in frame 0 is looking to the front and in frame 15 is looking to the side. Then I continued with other stuff in the scene. The problem is that I realized that 15 frames is too fast. If the animation is 30 or 25 fps the movement is no-natural. So I ask myself... there is any way to add more frames to make that the final head position is located in the frame 40? 

Thanks!!!!

add a larger framerate and render to image series

I'm sorry but I don't think that is a solution. But thanks.

I'm no expert at this, so there may be a way (like with a script from mCasual or something), but this is what I got keyMate for. I waited for it to go on sale and picked it up for this feature alone.

mCasual's script are here:

There are a lot of them and it takes some time to go through it all. He (I think it's a he) is also very active in the freebies forum here.

Yes, with keyMate you can copy, paste and move keyframes along timeline.

Here is how I would do it with build in DS features:

- select frame 15 (looking to the side pose) in timeline

- left click parameters pane sub menu and choose Figure>Memorize Pose

- delete key frame on frame 15 by clicking the X button in timeline

- select frame 40 in timeline

- left click parameters pane sub menu and choose Figure>Restore Pose

Hi

 

if you are serious about animation invest in Both graphmate &keymate.
What you are trying to do is easily achieved by moving the head turning 
frames further down the timeline with either if these plugins
