Things to do.....a lot of work is being put into updating this script with a handful of new functions and controls. Be sure to check back often for updates!
I hope you find this as useful as I do. This is open source and free for anyone to add to.
Please post a link to anything you to with the script. I'd like to see what you come up with. I think this script could grow into something pretty interesting.
ENJOY!

Update Coming!
Hey Ian,
Glad you asked. Andru Phoenix and I have been hard at work on developing the next version of Key Transfer. The release of the newer version will be before the end of this year. I know that may seem a bit far away but considering all the new functions and abilities of KeyTransfer it doesn't seem like much time.
I'll keep you guys updated on things.
Thanks for the interest and support!

presets
Saving copied animation as a preset would be cool. So in a fresh scene I can work with previous values. Load preset > blabla animation
Great
groutcho, Great ideas man. Thank you for the idea. That seems like it would be a very useful and straight forward thing to do. I like that idea a lot.
Thanks.

copy selected keys
Is there a way to copy only selected keys instead of the whole controller ?
Also, it would be useful to either add a "all checked" option to copy everything without checking every axis and controller type box.
Example :
I've got a master camera moving all around the scene. I have got sample cameras here and there. I'd like to add the several keys of the sample camera to the end of the master camera track.
This sentence is false.
No problem!
No problem. I'm glad you find it useful and enjoy using it.
Feel free to suggest any other ideas you may have that you would find useful.
And we will do our best to implement those that best work!

Great news. Thanks for
Great news. Thanks for implementing my suggested feature. It will be a lifesaver for me. I'm currently working on a construction assembly animation. There are identical pieces which have identical animations starting at different frames. So easiest way for me would be; copy the source object's animation and paste it to other objects which will start the animation at current time slider frame. I'm sure many others will appreciate this feature.
Thanks for your hard work and thanks for bringing us this useful script free of charge. Looking forward version 2.0
mwaif
That is a great suggestion. I'll be sure to implement that into the next release.
It is a very good idea that no one has ever brought up. I could see that being very very useful. Thanks for your suggestions.
By the way. Be sure to check back, the release of the new 2.0 wont be to far from now. We have been working intensively on 2.0 for over a year now and we are getting very close to the finalizing stage.

offset to current frame
Can you please add an option so that transfered animation starts at selected frame? Let me give you an example:
I have an animated object. I select it in the script. Then I select another object, go to frame where I want this object start to animate, an press transfer animation, so keys will be automatically offseted to my current frame.
Thanks.
