Hi,

When you copy a KF by CTRL dragging the dope master cell (such a good feature!), the graph is interpolated as flat between thse two KF's, regardless of the TCB settings. Now often this is what you want and it's a real time saver. However I sometimes want to change that region of the curve back to being interpolated normally, as if I had manually created the two KF's.

Does anyone know how you can force the two KF's or the curve between them to act 'normally'?

This is a feature - Lyle said so, and in this case I agree. Its for getting feet that don't slip and such. When I want to break the effect, I just tap the key. That seems to do it.

Hi Dobermunk,

Oh, I'm not knocking this feature at all, I find it very useful most of the time - and it's very logical. I just need to undo it sometimes - Cool that tapping seems to work! Thanks!

You know, those inactive keys rear their head AGAIN here! If you CTRL drag a dopemaster cell to copy the KF BUT there is an inactive KF at the destination location of the drag, that cool flat interpolation does not occurr! How frustrating! It seems I just can't escape the 'IKC' (Inactive Keyframe Curse) :scream:

Thanks again for the tip.

Edit: Or inactive KF's in between....

I call them "zombie keys".
