How do you copy the keyframes at the start of an animation to the last frame in Carrara? I thought there was a way to do it, but I've forgotten (or I imagined it)....

    Select each of the keys you want to copy (Shift Select to select multiples individually)

    Hold down the Alt key

    Click down on one one the selected keys and drag to the location you need them

    Note: once you drag them anywhere along the timeline, you can easily drag a selection around them and position them to their final location.

    This is awesome! Once I've learned this technique I've never stopped using it. It greatly improved my efficiency in my animations.

    Also, we can render looping GIF animations. The possibility presents itself upon saving as GIF. However, it's a good idea to first save as either AVI or image sequence. Once Carrara has saved to AVI or Sequence (never tried MOV), it can then save it again as the other, and also as a GIF. But saving to GIF is one way, as Carrara cannot actually open a GIF.

    My pleasure, my friend. Yup, that good ol' ALT key rocks!
