Exclude Right End Point

If you paste the same block of time repeatedly, one block following the other, you can create a looping segment in your animation. To create a smooth looping animation you need to exclude either the first or last key of the copied block to prevent keys from doubling up at the ends.

Use the exclude endpoint buttons to exclude the beginning or end key in a selected block of time.

Reference

Exclude Right End Point: Prevents a key at the last frame of a selected block of time, from being copied to the clipboard.

How To

To create an animated loop:

1. In Edit Time mode, Select Exclude Left End Point.
2. Select the Position item label for the animated object in the Hierarchy list.
3. Select a block of time.

For a smooth loop, the first and last frame of the selection should be the same.

4. On the Track View toolbar, select Copy Time.

The selection is copied to the clipboard (minus the first frame).

5. Click to define an insertion point.

The last position key should be your insert point.

6. Click Paste Time.
