Offset of time 0

Hi,

It would be nice to be able to shift to the left the time 0 of keyframe animation.
This way we could offset all keyframes more easily.

Thx

Robert

I guess he wants what we all want ... :)
The ability to extend the timeline to the left beyond 0. If you create an animation that starts at time index 00:00:00 and at the very end have to insert additional animation/keyframe before what you already have you end up in a lot of problems. Either you have to manually shift ALL keyframes by hand to the right or you have to work with embedded animations. Both options are very bad. With the first one you usually always end up ruining your animation, especially if you already have embedded animations in your timeline. If State Keyframes of an embedded animation are drawn close together in the Animation Editor timeline they usually loose their values when you move them around. And for option 2 when you extend your animation by embedding it in a new one you loose the ability to edit everything in one place. So it would be a really good feature if one could extend the timeline to the negative time or if you could insert a time block so that basically all keyframes are shifted to the right by that time. Then you would not have to deal with negative times. The end result would be the same.

last week i moved thousands of keyframes by hand :cry:
Please, implement a feature like 'select all keyframes from time to ...' (by including the sometimes hidden subkeyframes!)
This would be very very helpful.

hi stephan

but i hope you know, that you can mark keyframes by pulling up a rectangle with shift+left mouse button? problem is, you cant mark also the states

Hi Christian,
thanks for your hint, i know it, thanks. And yes, the states prohibit an automatic movement.
many greetings,
stephan
