Deleting Frames

After having produced key frame animations (key-by-key), sometimes you need to decrease the duration of the transition between two keys. Instead of dragging the keys one by one on the timeline, iClone provides the Delete Frame feature to quickly do this.

* Please note that any data (clips, keys) in the deleted frames will be completely gone once you use the Delete Frame command.

Delete Frames for the Entire Project

The Delete Frame feature may not only delete a specified number of frames, but also the data inside the frames for all objects in the project. You may also use this feature to advance all the animations in the project.

1. Here's a project in which objects are all animated by clips and keys.
   
2. Press F3 to open the timeline. Click the Track List button and select Project from the menu.
3. Focus on the Project sub track.
   
4. Drag in the track to make a range for deletion.
   
   You can drag each side of the range to modify the length for deleting.
   
5. Click the Delete Option button.
   You will then be prompted to choose the deletion method.
   
   
   • Delete Data: Deletes only the clips and keys within this range.
   • Delete Frame: Deletes keys as well as the frames within the range to shorten the length of the project.
6. If you Delete Data, the data within the range will be removed. The data after the range will stay where it is.
   
7. If you Delete a Frame, the data and frames within the range will be removed and the data after the range will be advanced.
   
   
   Note:

   Only the clips whose start frame falls within the range will be removed.
