View Full Version : Smart Plot from Story not possible?

Hello,

here is my problem:



I am doing 30 second animation of a dance, keying is done by hand.

For a better overview of my keys I broke the whole animation into 5 chunks from 5-7 seconds each take.



I then put the chunks together in story, edited the overall timing to match the music to have the whole 30 seconds at once. Everything

works fine.



Now I want to plot the whole story track back to the current take to do further keyframing. The problem that occurs is that I am not able to do a smart plot (options are greyed out). I tried every option but after plotting the resulting animation is one key per frame.



I am very disappointed because I want to keep the clear and reduced key layout so as in the individual takes.



Is it only possible to plot animation back from story one key per frame?

How would it be possible to stitch my individual takes together and keep the reduced key layout?



Thanks for any help,

Andreas
