Animation question

[Arnold Sher]

Hi everyone,

 

This should be a straight forward but for some reason i do not seem to remember how to do this... I've keyed manually loads of objects (i do mean loads) so re-keyeng is out of the question, but now standing back and looking at it its too fast. So idea is to slow everything down, which is not a problem in post but that of course brings in a new set of issues such as choppy video so ideally i'd like to do this in max say adding a third more in terms of time like going from 40s to a minute. Anyone can help so i do not have re do this as that would really tick me off... thank you all for your help...

You can scale the time (click on the icon next to the frame number in the botton right corner) by adding more frames.

Thanks Justin, that I know how to do.. what I need is to proportionally to add more frames to all objects that I've keyed without going individually and doing one by one. So for example the car took to get across the screen in 30 frames but now has to do in 45 frames. I am really simplifying as there would be keyed frames in between but that is the idea. Now it would be easy if there was one object but I have thousands so I need a solution that does this automatically.. Am I making any sense?

I would have thought the "Rescale Time" button would do that. You specify a new frame length and the animation will be automatically scaled out to fit that time. It wont add more keys, just stretch them out and affect everything animated.

 

An other way to scale keys is to right click in the track bar->configure-> shop selection range, then you can grab the bar and pull it to streatch or squash the selected keys of the selected objects.
