I want to make all the keyframes appear like this enter image description here

instead of the blank cycle like this enter image description here

Is there a way? I want this because sometimes I need to make change on the cycle and without keyframes, a single new keyframe will ruin the cycle. I really dont want to copy/paste all keyframes on the dopesheet because everything will be a mess and will take too much time! thanks

  • $\begingroup$ Is your intention to make a modification that affects all the cycles, or only deviate for a single event with future cycles unchanged? $\endgroup$

  • $\begingroup$ For example lets say I have an arm cycle animation. At some point I want to change a single rotation keyframe of that cycle, but let the cycle continue. If I had the keyframes there instead of a blank cycle, I could just select that particular key and change it without having to worry about the cycle being ruined. $\endgroup$

A manual process would be to use the Graph Editor.

  • Remove the Cycles modifier
  • select all keyframes
  • copy the keyframes : Ctrl-C
  • navigate to the last keyframe : Shift-Ctrl-up then (plain) down
  • paste keyframes : Ctrl-V

Repeat those last two steps until you have filled the timeline.

It would be possible to clone the keyframes via python, but unless you need 20+ copies, the manual process should be adequate. (let me know if the python is required)

This can be done with F-Curve cycles modifier. The F-Curve modifier panel is located in the Properties region in the Graph Editor.

To add a modifier, select the curve you want to add cycles to, select Modifiers tab in the properties region, click on Add Modifier and select Cycles.
