hi.. this is my first pos t here, i been using aime studio for few weeks and and now im making an animation...
what i want to know is how to make an animation to repeat without having to copy every keyframe.... cuz i have made a very clomplicated character... wich is a group with many sublayers and some single point transisions.....

it will be to hard to copy all those kyframes one by one...

can anybody please explain me how...

ill take a look of it...thanks

ok that solved one of my problems......... but still having all those layers and objects..
to make the cycle:
do i have to select them individually? or theres a way to select all the layers in a group at the same time.?

Cycle is a kind of keyframe. Keyframes belongs to channels (bone translation, bone rotation, layer visibility...) and channels belong to layers. All layers don't have same channels. And you cannot select more than one layer each time.

I think there is not workaround to insert a repeat cycle for several nested layers. So you need to do it one by one. If someone can find other way please speak.

if so....
im goin to export my animation as pngs ...then import then back as a swicth layer into the new scene... ithink 30 frames ona swicht layer will be easyer than copy all those keyframes.....

any sugestion about what else can i do........or what im thinking to do?

Sometimes you might just want to copy all the key frames and just repeat them down the time line. Use the settings in the time line to only show the elements that you are working with.

yes... that could help me do it quiker..... thanks

I'm afraid there's no faster way. Of course it's tedious to select each layer for the cycle and set its last key to cycle (not to mention that this little window never remembers the last setting, as a comfortable implementation would allow), but I found this the best way. For a simple walk cycle I usually need to treat up to 10 channels, which is more than enough but just as many as I can remember - keeping notes on paper helps.
