What’s the best way to move ALL the keyframes in a scene forward by (for example) one frame? Do I have to make a function to loop through every key of every track of every node, or is there some simpler way to accomplish this?
Either way, advice would be appreciated!
According to the docs this should be easier. For example this should insert 40 frames at frame 0
inserttime rootnode.children 0f 40f
I did not verify that this REALLY catches all controllers, but i would think so …

Seems to work so far,thanks! I’ll let you know if I encounter any problems
it moves keys of first root children only.
a little cleaner will be:
movekeys objects 10
-- or
inserttime objects 0 10
but both these two methods don’t work probably for global tracks, animatables stored ouside a pblock, and note tracks…
Thanks for the headsup – i thought the mxs docs meant all children, but it’s text is quite ambiguous
inserts time in all controllers of all children of…
the rootnode children set is different than node children. it’s all about ‘map’ ability. the rootnode children set is not recursively mappable.
