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!

Thanks for all your comments and ideas.
We have completely rewritten and updates KeyTransfer with around a dozen new features.

Everything you have mentioned + more!
The release of the KT will before the end of this year. We are nearing the end of out development and rolling into Beta testing.

So keep a look out for it and I'll be sure to post all over the place when the new one is out so everyone knows!

It's going to be great!

Chapeau

I really appreciate ur work THANX

I like Mwaif idea about specifying the start frame of the copy
I have some ideas
Sometimes my objects have more than one layer in the position
I dont know if this is hard but can you put a spinner that defines the layer I want to copy the animation to
it gives me an error when I try to do that and I have to rerun the script , if this is not possible why not just discard my command without the error

Second thought is that you might want to change the speed of the animation (scale the track -+) according to the first,Middle or last key ,by specific percentage is that possible

and finally a reverse animation option
