Hi,

in the animation editor, if I select some keys and enter ‘+100’ in the frame field, the keys all shift 100 frames ahead. If I enter ‘-100’, nothing happens.

How do I shift keyframes backwards in time?

thanks,Jasper

Use +- to offset them back in time +-100

sorry, I should add: I've tried that as it's pretty obvious and it doesn't work. (+100)*-1 etc, also don't work.

nope

maybe try again, as that's how you do it +-100 should offset selected key values by -100 either if Frame or Value fields

In Values it works, in Frames it doesn't. H17.5 & H18.

Hey druitre,

I encounter the same problem from time to time. Sometimes It is not working for me when multiple curves are selected.
One curve at a time should work. (looks like a bug)

Cheers

Hi Tomas,

could it be you are selecting just one curve as CYTE is saying? In that case, I should've asked: ‘on all selected curves’.

And yes, I consider that a bug, I'll submit it.

cheers, Jasper

It's even more weird:
- one curve selected, everything works.
- two or more curves selected, everything works UP TO +-48 frames. At +-49 frames, it stops working. + it works normally, +- it stops working at 49.
