Using
the Track Editor, you can independently modify the animation's start
or end point. This changes the animation's overall duration and
scales the keyframes. Dragging the start or end point compresses
or stretches the keyframes in the selected channels. If you want
to simply move the first or last keyframe to another point in time,
drag the keyframe.
NoteBy repositioning
the start or end point, you cannot delete any existing keyframes.
This means that you can only adjust the start or end time as far
as the adjacent keyframe.
To adjust an animated channel's start
or end point:
- Click Animation, and then click Timeline.
- In the Channel hierarchy, select the
channel you want to modify.
The corresponding track
in the Track Editor turns light blue and its keyframes appear.
- Select the first or last keyframe and
drag it to change the start or end point of the animation.
NoteAdjusting the timing
for a folder changes the timing for all channels in that folder.
To scale an animated channel's timing:
- Click Animation, and then click Timeline.
The Track Editor appears.
- In the Channel hierarchy, select the
channel you want to modify.
The corresponding track
in the Track Editor turns light blue and its keyframes appear.
- Move the mouse over the starting light-blue
handle. When a two-directional arrow cursor appears, drag to the
left or right to slide the start point forward or backward in time.
As you drag the handle,
the keyframes in the track scale proportionally to the amount you
move the handle.
NoteAdjusting the timing
for a folder changes the timing for all channels in that folder.
