   If you happen to have the Amiga version of Sparks around, it
comes with a Modeler macro called "Path Freezer" that does just
that: it creates a key for each frame of a motion path. And it
does a more accurate job of it than making keys manually in Layout.

   (You'll find that when you try to fill in a motion path by making
key frames in Layout, the motion will change rather drastically as
you go along. Probably not the intended result.
