Remove Key Frames from an Action

Coding Python Support
1

I imported actions from another application into Blender. Unfortunately, the import created a key frame for every frame. There are so many key frames, that my computer can barely load the file, much less allow me to edit the actions. I want to delete every 3rd keyframe using a python script. How would I go about this?

I have gotten access to the action by doing:

actions = Armature.NLA.GetActions()

print actions
print actions[‘HugeAction’]

But I do not see how I access the key frame data associated with that action. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

In case anyone else tried to achieve this, here is how I eventually did it:

def main() :

eul = 0.001


actions=Armature.NLA.GetActions()

defaultAction = actions['DefaultAction']

sce = Scene.GetCurrent()
context = sce.getRenderingContext()
fs = context.sFrame
fe = context.eFrame
fc = context.currentFrame()

#for i in range(1, 40):
#    context.currentFrame(i)
#    Blender.Window.RedrawAll()

channelStartIndex = 10
channelEndIndex = 13

channelsComplete = -1

for name in defaultAction.getChannelNames() :
    channelsComplete +=1
    print "%d:%s" % (channelsComplete, name)

    if channelsComplete < channelStartIndex :
        continue
    
    for curve in defaultAction.getChannelIpo(name).curves :
        print "		Name:%s		Points:%d" % (curve.name, len(curve.bezierPoints))

        delete = False
        bezIndex = 0
        for bPoint in curve.bezierPoints :
            print "			BPoint:%d %d	" % (bPoint.pt[0], bPoint.pt[1])
            delete = not delete
            if delete :
                curve.delBezier(bezIndex)
            else :
                bezIndex += 1
    
    if channelsComplete > channelEndIndex :
        return

if name == ‘main’:
main()
