How to apply "Color Points" to multiple selected Keyframes and vector points?

[danceman]

Hello esteemed LostMarble forum members and administration,
i'm hoping anyone familiar could please show how to simultaneously apply "Color Points" to multiple selected Keyframes and vector points?

Explicit goal:
(summary):
- how to apply Relative Keyframing to "Color Points" Fills?,
- how lighten and darken, vector "Color Points" Fills, as their vector shapes appear closer and further from the camera. ie:shade based on distance from lightsource,
(elaborate):
A) using rotoscoped vectors of a character(s) limbs in switch-layers, running toward the camera &lightsource, i need to change the "Color Points" < Fill on each vector limb to lighter then darker, as they swing closer then further from the lightsource.

B) And i'm using a Switch-layer so that lightening and darkening on each keyframe will also be interpolated thru each tween frame. Would be ideal to paint ColorPoints lighter\darker with brushes like in "Vector Studio"(for Adobe Illustrator)

C) Would prefer to lighten &darken One keyframe and apply those changes to All or Selected keyframes, like Mocha Pro UBER key or After Effects KEYTWEAK plugin.

..thanks for any solutions or suggestions soon as able,
Jeff

There's no need to post the same thing twice.

... and, despite your reply at the time, was the response then not useful for you???

Hello Paul &Wes, although my post here used same "(explicit goal)", the initial question is specifically different so i didn't think it redundant: Here i'm asking how to select multiple keyframes and paste anothers' color property into all of them (as opposed to brush painting or colorpoint-lighting them). When i try so manually only the Current(srubbed) keyframe &selected points are changed, Not all selected keyframes.

2) and thanks again for your "Moho Lighting Demo" Paul, but it required extensive keyframing of the masks and colorpoint-lights for numerous limbs, which i may return to if its Not possible to paste color properties into Multiple selected cp keyframes, or apply "Relative Keyframing" to colorpoints keyframes which are both faster.

3) and Wes, if your Wes Fowler awesome Anime Studio scripting Webinar-ist, i hoped to ask you if its possible to script pasting color properties into Multiple selected keyframes, OR apply "Relative Keyframing" to colorpoints keyframes?,

..incase neithers' probable, i'm running a kf cycling project as remaining option, hopefully not limited to scenes with consistent motions and length.
Appreciate your effective instruction and patience, i'll post to Single discussions on this forum which i'd mistakenly thought were distinct, sorry for initial seeming redundancy.
looking forward,
Jeff

Yeah, that's me. Relative keyframing only works for a few things, but not color points. You could script pasting color properties into several selected keyframes, It's not something I'd need, so I'd have to charge for writing it (and it's not cheap).

Thanks Wes, for your popular scripting tutorials and products as well.
Do you prefer discussing price via PM or other means?,
&i've written Illustrator\CorelDRAW(bitmap.trace automation) scripts, perhaps you'd consider tutoring my writing this CopyPasteCPKeyframes script at reduced rate\price?,
Automating! Color Points has obvious motion picture potential and applications beyond its current limitations,
so i look forward elaborating either option and esp. to your pro assistance.
talk soon,
Jeff

Yeah, I only discuss pricing via PM.

Tutoring would actually be more expensive, but I try to answer specific scripting questions on this forum when I can.
