is it possible to move props without redoing animation?

[julespaquette]

Hi new to the site, and I have a small problem

 

I have a character fully animated, including his props

 

unfortunately when I started keying my animation his gun was several metres from the character so I made the mistake of just keying it to the correct location and then simply posing out the animations.

 

I'd like the default position to be in his hand, is there a way to move it there without scrapping all the animation work I've done?

sure, create a dummy helper, then link the Gun to the Dummy. Now place the dummy in any part of the scene, the gun should keep it animations keys.

I tried Linking a helper to the gun and moving the helper instead, as you suggested, but it seems to have made no difference and still ruins the animation
