I’m working with animations that are 2000+ frames long (single scene). When we translate our slides into other languages, we need to move keyframed actions around (typically further down the timeline). I wish the “Split timeline” feature worked the way I want it to. This is how I’d like it to work: I left click the top of 50+ layers on frame 200, hold shift and click the bottom right of the 50 layers on frame 1800. Then scoot them down to start at frame 240.
Right now, that functionality does not work. Shift clicking while using split windows produces unpredictable timeline selections on my Windows 7 pc. My work around is that I use only one view of the timeline, left click the bottom right layer at frame 1800, move the slider bar so I can see frame 200, then left click the top left layer and then move it to 240. And then I have to slide back to 1840 and repeat the same type of method.
If shift clicking between the split timeline views is not possible, another thing that would be nice would be to left click all the layers at frame 200 and then have an option like “Select from current frame to end of timeline” so everything to the right becomes highlighted and easy to move. Then, I could move everything 40 frames down the timeline easily, without have to worry about shifting my frames and losing something or going through the hassle of scrolling the slider to the end of the timeline all the time.
Does anyone know how to do what I’m asking or Toon Boom, could you please fix this bug/ add it as a feature? Thanks.
I’m using Harmony 12 Advanced, but I’ve also used Animate, Animate Pro and Harmony Premium. I think this feature would be beneficial in all those programs.
