Blinking light doesn't make an Action

Support Animation and Rigging
1

I pretty much finished a tutorial here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UbU4ie7MTr8 Although not part of the tutorial, I want to make the red light on the robot’s chest blink on and off through the whole animation. I can manually change two nodes from red to white and insert the frames into the timeline from the nodes themselves. But this would take a long time to go through the whole animation like this. And no Action is created. In the tutorial, I used the NLA editior for repeating a walk action. Is there a way I can copy and paste or otherwise speed up the process of turning the light from red to white and back to red for the duration of the animation?

You just make the key frame curve extrapolation cyclic. Is that what you are looking for? shift e
Yes you can copy and past Ctrl c and ctrl v
And you can shift d and duplicate key frames.

Yeah. In the Dope Sheet editor. Very simple. I duplicated the frames across the whole length of the video. I’ve been working in the NLA so much, I didn’t think of using the dope sheet editor. I would have responded earlier, but I’m not getting notified via email about threads I start.

Thanks for responding.
