REPEATING KEY FRAMES?

[orizaba]

PTE 7.0.5

In "Objects and Animation" is it possible to repeat "key frames groups, including all data" along the time line?

Example:

- Slide is 1 minute long

- Along this time I want to make blink an object each 0,5 second

- So, I have to create 120 key frames

- First key frame is Opacity=0, next one is Opacity=100, and so on till the end

- I am thinking to create a group of 12 key frames (for example) and repeat it (a sort of copy/paste) 10 times along the timeline

- Is this possible? Or any other way to minimize the work?

Thanks,

Jose

Jose,

This is something we have been asking for, for a long time.

Currently it is not possible to copy/paste keyframes - Hopefully in the next version!

Jose,

Set up just one slide (say 5 or 10 seconds worth) and then copy and paste the whole slide.

is that not the "hawk method" ?

You can use a .gif file containing two pictures, the real one, and a blank one. Then in O&A window / Animation / Adjust Image and Border / Animation put the values you need.

Thanks Peter. Yes, it could be but... my "slide" is already a very complex slide and the blinking object is only about 1/20 of the total objects where lots of them are moving! So, I think I can not go this way.

Thanks Jean-Cyprien. Yes, this might be the possible solution but I do not know how to build a gif file. Could you help?

PS: I just made it with GIMP 2.8 and it is great! Thanks.
