Hi,
I have to create a szene with a few short animations in it.
I wish to move an completed animated object from one place to another,
and also a few seconds later in the timeline.

I have to move the complete keys of this object in the timeline
and also the position in the room, but how ?

I dont know how I can make this in the easiest way.
I know, at the end its a realy easy way to do this but I dont know it.

Can someone help me ?

hi,
to move it, you can group it, and for the keyframes, you can use the dopsheet.

hi again ;)
your object is animated, so have few keyframes on it, select your object , go in dopesheet editor, select your object name, and with your middle mouse button you can move all the keys for that object ...

Or if you prefer the Graph Editor, you can select your keys and use the right-click -> Edit -> Scale (options box) to set new start and end times for the sequence.

And if you use the standard Move Tool (w key) instead of the Move Keys tool in the Graph Editor, you can shuffle entire curves about, using shift to constrain to horizontal / vertical if you want.

There you go, more easy stuff to learn. :thumbsup:
