Is it possible to redo, or edit animation frames where you have made a mistake?

Hi, I am just beginning to animate.  I started to make a 900 frame animation at 30 FPS.  I put my first keyframe at 45 and adjusted the left and right arms.  The next keyframe I went to 90 and readjusted.  When I played it through, I realized I had made an error between 45 and 90.  Is there a way of editing out the movement between 45 and 90?  Kind of starting over from frame 45?  Since I see many errors in my future, I would like to know how you can edit an animation in progress.

Thank you

If you don't have a key between those frames this is probably an interpolation issue - how DS fills in the movement between frames - which can be adjusted either using some of Casual's scripts in the Freebies forum or with the KeyMate/GraphMate plug-ins. If you do have keys you can delete them in the timeline, add new ones, or select the frame and adjust the property to edit the key.

If ou have the full license version of animate2 , you could try right clicking & dragging your mouse along the timeline & highlight the keyframes you want to remove , then right click the timeline again and click delete it will just delete the highlighted keyframes only leaving what you did not highlight for removel ,  I am not sure if it works with the free version of animate.  But works about 97% of time removing unwated keyframes for quick redues   unless you baked the keyframes then you will find it will  be much easier to start over once the keyframes have been baked

Thank you for your reply.  I've bought animate2.  I have it installed and working.  This time I will start over anyway, but in the future I will try your click, drag, and delete procedure.

Thank you for your tip.
