Question

Keyframe Clone or Reverse with Automation Blocks?

Hello, clone and/or reverse selected/all keyframes to the end or beginning of the layer. It's a waste of time to always move keyframes to the end or start of the layer after clone and reverse.
Is it possible to make it with Automation Blocks?
Thank you.

After pasting they keyframes, use Animation > Keyframe Assistant > Time Reverse Keyframes.

 

This flips the keyframes temporally in the Timeline.  Any motion paths created by parameters that have a Spatial attribute (like Position and Anchor Point) will be maintained and followed in the other direction.

Hi,

could you describe a bit more precisely what you want to achieve?

Something like this?

1. copy all selected keyframes of a selected property

2. delete those selected keyframes

3a. paste the keyframes again such that the first one starts at the beginning of the layer or

3b paste the keyframes again such that the last one ends at the end of the layer?

 

That should absolutely be possible 🙂

We currently have no reverse operation on keyframes, so that would be tricky to achieve.

    @Mathias Moehl Thank you for your reply.

    I think this image explains what I want.

    Copy selected keyframes, paste them to the end of the layer, then reverse all pasted keyframes.

    OK I think I can see what you need to do.

     

    1. Duplicate the layer
    2. Then Layer > Time  > Time Stretch
    3. set the duration to -100% - this will reverse all the keyframes and moving the times relative to each property
    4. Copy the keyframes back onto your original layer and delete this layer

    A bit convoluted, but it should work.
