Deleting everything beyond a specific frame

Post by DaleG »

How do I delete all keyframes in a project (including camera track/pan/tilt..) beyond a specific frame?

I've placed 25 objects on a background field that I want to pan through similar to tutorial 5.8 (3d scenes). Ive been working on a project of about 100 frames.. but now I want to delete everything past frame 10. If I choose "select all keyframes" from the animation menu, it does not select the camera tracking/pan keyframes. How do I take a project I've been working on and only keep the first several frames.. and delete everything else beyond that so that I can redo it from that point?

thanks!

Script option...

You can manage it for layer and camera keyframes using the load/save layer/camera scripts here:

I added a description for how to use them to delete unwanted frames.

wow... I'm not sure I'm ready to tackle scripting yet.. I was kind of hoping I just missed the button that said "include these items in delete all keyframes" !

Does that script work the same on a mac computer? Is there a chance that any of these popular scripts can be added as basic functions of moho 5 for us script-ally impaired? (Should I post it as a feature request?)

Thanks!

It should be pretty easy. Just copy them into your scripts folder. I'm not sure where it is on the mac though.

They should. I'm not doing anything Windows specific.

Again, it's pretty easy to use scripts - just copy them into the correct folder and they will appear in the menu automagically.

Most of the buttons and menu items in Moho as it comes from Lost Marble have a lua script behind them. So it's not thing to be afraid of. :-)
