Time reverse keyframes should only affect selected keyframes

 

1 created three or more keyframes on a track

2 select the first and the last keyframe

3 invoke 'Time reverse keyframes

 

See how all unselected keyframes are inversed too.

Hi @Jaydude-wb,

Thank you for making this report. The behavior you've described is how the Time-Reverse Keyframes function is currently designed: it reverses all the keyframes within any selected keyframes, not only the selected keyframes. To have it work as you've described would be considered a feature request rather than a bug report.

 

Let me know if I should move this report to our Ideas section for further conversation and votes.

 

Cheers,

I'm not sure this is a bug, it just seems that this is the function of the time reverse keyframes command.

Any keyframes between the selected keyframes have to be affected by the command.

Think of a position animation, if you could only time reverse selected keyframes (let say the first and last) it would change the structure of the entire animation.
Though non-linear time reversal would probably be interesting for some properties.

I am not seeing this behavior, 25 and 25 beta on a Mac.

I agree with Rick. Can you share a screen recording that shows the problem?

We're here to help.
