I’m trying to make a loop, how can I copy my first frame to the end to make it a keyframe to make a smoth transition back to the begaining.

Thanks for any help,

Depending on what version you are using, and what you are doing it is different, more information would be helpful to those wanting to help you.

Usually you select the keyframe, and hit shift d, now hit x to constrain, hold control to move one frame at a time, and slide the keyframe over to the end.

And for a seamless loop you must put your duplicate keyframe 1 frame past the loop point or you will pick up a stutter.

yes, basically, you set a keyframe at frame 1, then you go to what will be the last frame, plus one frame, and set another keyframe, exactly the same as the first. then you animate the bit in between. so if you set your keyframes at frame 1, and frame 20, your loop will be frames 1 through 19, since frame 20 is the same as frame 1.

Thanks that was helpful, I’m shure I’ll be back as I’m new to Blender
