Need some guidance.
We have a LW scene exported from PFtrack. It is a matchmove that was tracked on ever 2nd frame, so the final output to LW has half the keyframes needed for all the backplates.
So 1 key for evey 2 backplate images.

Is ther an easy way to double the keyframes to make them match the number of backplate images and lock properly?

Thanks guys!

Since this is a matchmove scene I guess the keyframes are either on the camera or some nulls and are plain keyframes. No worries then! Just open the scene editor and:

a) if you use the Classic Scene Editor (probably easier), just press "Scale Keys/Scale Keys for All items", set a range, put "2" on time and that's it
b) if you use the New Scene Editor, use the Dope Sheet to select all the keyframes, right click and select "Numeric Time Scale". Then use 200%.

Well, this doesn't double the keyframes, just scales them, but I think it will solve the problem. If it doesn't, maybe I misunderstood your problem.

Same thing dude, select your keyframes, then go to "Keys" > "Numeric Scale" > Time scale Factor "2"

if you render to image sequence, you can change your FPS in your preference too.
