@nextkeyframe @michaelCuevas27 @KielFiggins facts

@michaelCuevas27 @KielFiggins Rotation orders are so 2020

Bro: Your workflow would speed up dramatically if you used rotation order Me with my dozens of locators and aim constraints:

You betcha!

@BlahblahPeet yep! there is a built in hotkey manager that creates a duplicate hotkey set from any set you currently have. It adds all the functionality to the new set. You can also export/import that hotkey set.

@Long_Winter Can we assign these tools to hotkeys?

@yuyangzhao112 Perhaps! Most people I have talked to use maya's default vs animBot. I am trying to figure out what is redundant.

@Long_Winter 有没有考虑过加一个文件崩溃找回动画的功能例如animbot

Align Copy and Paste has been added! #KeyPro v1.21 is up!

For all you fine folks working in #Maya2027, I've got good news! All tools are updated and working in maya 2027! As always, let me know if you have any issues and I'll help you sort 'em out. 🤘

@nextkeyframe oh, that's super interesting. I find myself guessing my intervals all the time and just approximating. Esp early in a shot. This is a great idea!

There was an old script that displayed the number of frames between keyframes directly in the viewport. For example, if you had keys on frames 3 and 10, it would display '7'. It was a great tool for organizing the timeline and managing animation timing. Would be cool if you could add this to keypro

Will be adding some features to the "Align" function this weekend. Let me know the features you can't live without. I'll add 'em! #KeyPro #characteranimation #maya

@nextkeyframe ah, good heads up! I'll get that sorted in the next update.

@Long_Winter niice! btw I found a bug recently. I turned on the hotkey for playback (space). Next time I opened it it was stuck that way even if I turned it off.

From a recent paid animation review 👇 One of the most common issues I see: Characters move before they look where they’re going. In real life, we always verify first — our eyes lead the action. This is the kind of detail we fix in reviews. #animation

#KeyPro v1.2 is out today with a few minor fixes and adjustments. Thanks everyone for the feedback! #characteranimation #maya

@yuyangzhao112 yep, use middle mouse instead, it's lovely.

@Long_Winter 抱歉，我指的是按shift选择时间范围，然后左键拖动关键帧的位置

#KeyPro Ask and I'll make it! Middle mouse click-drag == Store pose and paste! You get a nice visual aid as well. Dreams! #characteranimation #maya #goodtimes

@yuyangzhao112 if you shift select, you can drag with left mouse just like the normal timeline.

@Long_Winter 时间轴进行拖动关键帧处理时候，是否可以加入shi鼠标左键进行拖动，现在是鼠标中键进行拖动的，

@yuyangzhao112 You can make it as wide as you'd like. if you want to add frames - alt the range, you can enter that into the frame start/end at the bottom.

@Long_Winter 兄弟有没有可能让时间轴变宽和变高，在我的maya里面他太小了，

#KeyPro is live! If you are looking for an animBot alternative that's adding new features every week and way cheaper, you should check it out. longwintermembers.com/keypro/ #characteranimation #maya

Collaboration is the ultimate artform.

@Jaiydanimate I set it up so that when you middle mouse click, it stores the pose and when you release, it pastes it. no need to hit "S". :)

@Long_Winter YOOOO is it similar to the Maya one where you can just press the keyframe button after you middle mouse to the frame and it keys it on that frame then?

pushed update to the site! longwintermembers.com/keypro/

@yuyangzhao112 You can select the key and copy paste - just like in the normal timeline. That middle mouse action is on it's way. :) Make a selection and then right click. You can also use the inbetweener to match prev or next pose - and you can put that on a hotkey.

@Long_Winter 兄弟，我该如何复制单帧pose，maya中可以按鼠标中键进行拖动复制，这个工具鼠标右键复制只能复制范围，没有办法单帧复制

That was fun! Thanks everyone who came by and picked up #KeyPro! It's early days still and things are improving fast. Looking forward to showing off the next update!
