How to stop an animation from looping

Post by mikemuk01 »

I have made an animation in Anime Studio Debut 10 where a figure walks across the screen from left to right. I want the figure to stop when he reaches the right side of the screen but it loops back to the left and keeps looping. How can I make it stop and wait after the first walk across? Thank you for any help. Mike

I think all you have to do is add another keyframe to stop the cycle. Learning anime pro here and just cam eacross page 184 and was wondering the same thing.

Well I'm new to asp but any loop function will stop in the timeline when it encounters a keyframe. So i guess if the legs move in a loop you add in a (blank) keyframe at the time you desire and the loop stops. The leg chain is probably connected to a root bone that moves the whole body. You might want to stop that from looping too.
