Is there any hotkey to swich to the next/previous frame in the animation windows?
Hello there!
I'm animating some sprites in which I need to edit every single frame, I's a quick shaking animation and so I only need to move the sprites a little every frame, as a result I spend more time switching frames than moving the sprites themselves. How can I move to the next frame without having to use the mouse?
Thanks!
Hi Xarras.
I am brazilian, sorry my bad english
have a long time your question. $$anonymous$$aybe you yet have resolved the problem.
use period and comma for previous or next frames. Unfortunatelly, only works if the tab animation is active! :(
use alt + period or comma, for jump to next or previous keyframes.
The C button shows the Curves.
but, I work with animation in toon boom, anime studio, Photoshop. So I have miss the other optios as:
PLAY, PAUSE,
NEXT FRA$$anonymous$$E, PREVIOUS FRA$$anonymous$$E, (shortcut active in any moment)
NEXT $$anonymous$$EY, PREVIOUS $$anonymous$$EY (shortcut active in any moment)
LAST FRA$$anonymous$$E, FIRST FRA$$anonymous$$E
ONION S$$anonymous$$IN
SPEED/SLOW
PLAY BAC$$anonymous$$WARD
PLAY LI$$anonymous$$ITED (for little part of the entire animation)

i've found a way to do it in two keyboard shortcuts:
basically, the shortcut for advancing is the period key, but it only works if you have the animator window selected, so if you're editing in the scene each frame of the animation, the long way would be to edit in the scene, then click back into the animation window each time. yawn
the quickest way i found was to press the shortcut for the animation window, then the normal shortcut for advancing a frame (in my case on a mac, it's ⌘6 to highlight the animation window, and then just pressing the period key to advance)
it's effectively a two-part shortcut. it's a bit disorienting at first, but you soon get into the rhythm :)
