Cycle sections of animation with a time warp

Previous: Apply a time warp

Animation > Create > New cycles warp

To change the range of animation to be cycled

1  Create an animation on several objects and choose Animation > Create > New cycles warp.

A new time warp curve is created that will be applied to all specified channels of the selected animated items. These channels now cycle through the animation between frames 1 and 30 twice before continuing on with the remainder of the animation.

2  To change the range of animation to be cycled, or the number of cycles, choose New cycles warp  to display the Cycle Options window and change the options.

An alternate way to cycle the complete range of animation on a channel for an infinite (or undetermined) number of times is to use the Cycles or Oscillate out-of-range type on the base action of a channel, instead of applying a timewarp. See the Action Tools menu items in the Action Window. For more information on timewarp curves, see
