Scale timeline 問題

[siub]

如果可想將成個animation (i.e. 所有objects) 既某段timeline scale快或慢,正確做法應該點做.

另外如果我淨系想將某個object既某段timeline scale快或慢,又應該點做呢?

唔該大家先!!

right click the object u want to edit.
choose curve editor,
on the top main menu, choose Scale Keys (a icon) for X axis (speed)
select the keys you want to speed up or slow down.

for Y axis (value),
choose Scale Value, then, scale it.
hope this help

thanks. If i have many objects in the scene, that means i have to select all the object at once and do the scaling, right?

or
1. right click on the time line -> configure -> turn on the Show Selection Range
2. select your object with keyframes
3. select the keyframe, you may see the keyframes turn white in colour and there'll be a Selection Range bar under the keyframes
4. feel free to scale your animation with the start point and the end point

Maybe I'm old fashioned, I believe the safer way is scale the keys in dope sheet mode instead of curve editor so there won't be any chance to screw up the value of the keys. You can use either Edit Ranges (whole animation) or Scale Time (your choice of timeframe) to retime your keys.

Thanks all!!! I will have a try at home for various methods mentioned.

BTW, if i want to achieve a smooth "slow motion" effect for a specific time range in my animation without changing the overall frame rate, can I achieve that by all of the above methods?

Thank you.

I've done. Thanks all for the help.
