Animation/keyframe setting that's driving me crazy.

[Anthony Martin]

Hi,

I think I've accidentally changed some setting somewhere and it's driving me nuts. The upshot of it is that if I save a keyframe on a parameter (can be shader, ICE node, anything in a PPG) and then skip to another frame and try and adjust that parameter to a new value it just snaps back to the value of the first keyframe. I can get around it by just clicking the keyframe button again and then adjusting it in the animation fcurve editor but that is not how I want to roll! I've got a suspicion that it's something to do with a SetValue "PlayControl.Key" that now happens whenever I shuffle through the timeline to a different frame. I could well be wrong though.

Please help! Please! I'm begging you all for help.

*wimper* *cry*

P.s. I'm including a screengrab of that sort of shows both the SetValue "PlayControl.Key" thing and also how whatever current frame I'm on in the timeline is also accompanied by a little lime green marker.

the green marker is a copy icon for the timeline. If you want to copy a keys values on a selected object to another frame, mmb click and drag the key you want to copy to the frame you want to paste it, and then press k..

looks like you're stuck in copy mode.... and you get this only using the LMB?

Restarting XSI doesn not help? Have you tried deleting your preferences?
Do you have any plugins with custom events installed that get triggered onTimeChanged that could casue this?
Disable Plugins systematically to find out.

Hi.

Renaming the preferences folder so that Soft creates a new one seems to have done the trick.

Thanks!
