Hi guys!
I have created animation that lasts 10seconds and I want it to last 30 seconds. How can I streach the existing animation? I don’t want to move every keyframe manually. :)

Thanks for the help

you can select all keys in animation editor-FCurve editor(press 0), press q(region tool) and stretch animation keys. or if you have stored FCurves as an action clip you can stretch them in animation mixer(Alt+0) by drugging the middle right area of that clip.

Hi, thanks for your time but I still don’t understand how to do this :)

1. I sellect all the objects on my scene
2. press 0 and open the animation editor
3. I select all the key frames. I am doing this by selecting curves one by one and pressing ctrl+A. Is there any smarter vay to do this?

4. if i click on one frame and drag it it moves everything. It is not making animation longer. What do I have to do to strech it?

Thanks

If you want to scale the length of an entire scene by 3x you can use the “Animation>Sequence Animation>All Scene” tool.

Type in 3 in the “Scale” section of the dialog and hit Ok.

You can find it by clicking the animation button at the bottom of the screen, just between the frame counter and the key button.
