How to repeat animations frames

yagakisan

Hi all,
I have a question about animations in DAZ: I want to set my animation to 60fps but since is just a loop where the main sequence is made of 10-15 frames, I have to repeat every pose until the end of the timeline (I use the puppeteer tool).
Is there a way to select and copy the main sequence and paste it over the rest of the timeline?

Another question: why when I reload the scene the timeline is not the same I saved before? For example I saved a scene with 80 frames and when I have reload it it had just 60 frames.

Thank you

did you make animation on daz time line? or animate plus, animate 2?
then,, without animate 2, or key mate, (other product plug in),
you may need to manually save animation on daz timiline,
which you want to loop . (eg 0 to 14) as pose preset first.

(I do not remember about animate plus can cut or copy animation etc,, of course if you get animate 2
it can do)

about your case, you may need to save all frames which you have keyed.or only flames which you want to loop.
when you save pose preset, you can choose animation range by start and end frame eg (pose_0_14.duf)

first,,, save the current scene to protect all animation,

next go to 15 frame, (suppose after 15 frame, there is no key any more)
apply same preset again. it make same animation sequence from 15 to 29
then go to 30 frame, etc,,, apply animation as pose sequences, untill finish your animation.

then,, i think save scene only saved frames which you keyed from zero frame.
if your last keyed frame was 45, then save the scene, when you open the scene, the animation range auto
change,, 0 to 45 I think.

thank you for the reply,
I making animation with daz only, so I' m working on the timeline.
I hadn't even noticed the possibility to save a range of frames in the "save as> pose preset" option... you gave me the right advice!

I've also found out that if I set the frames for the first loop only (let's say 10 frames), I change the total frames to 10 and THEN I change the fps value to 60, the final result in terms of quality or speed is the same, so I can edit the movie with Movie Maker copying and pasting the single loop to obtain the desired number of loops (I also save much time for rendering...).

I' ll check the other answer asap, thank you again.
