HI,
this topic want to be a “is this behavior have any reasons?” thread… not a bug post.. or anything like that… but it made mysef kicking the keyboard for couple of hours and when i found what was happening i just stopped for a while.. and starteed thinking if there were any special reason for that.
Example step by step in spoken language:
First example.
assuming your timeline is 25fps 100 total frames.
- create a box.
- add a transform SOP
- add a keyframe value 0 frame 1
- add a keyframe value 5 frame 10
- shift-LMB on the transform animated values (scope channels)
- zoom out the channel view (for example to see frames from -40 to 120)
- animate->export channels (ASCII)
- “home” the channel viewport (to see frames 1 to 100)
- animate->import channels.
see result.
Second example

- animate->export channels (ASCII)
- zoom out the channel view (for example to see frames from -40 to 120)
- animate->import channels.
see result.
my point is … why the import/export of channels doesnt just cares about the actual fcurve/keyframes?? aint (from help) the .chan file a list of FRAMES (one per line) and values?…
What i'd expect from the above behavior.. would at least be an option in the channel editor that enable/disable the “adapt on viewport” when import/export.. or something like that
cheers.
.chan Files... import/esport and issues.

thanks for your feedback … hopefully it wasnt me then…
anyway.. best way to “solve” that is by “homeing” the viewport every time before loading/saving chan files.. that just cause everything to be correct.
but before getting that solution i've had two hours of damn headache eheheh.
cheers.
