SUMMARY

The following describes how to work around the one-frame delay that occurs when you apply the Cycle command to repeat the key points of a function curve.

In the following example, the Cycle command is applied to a function curve that has key points that are set as visible and invisible.

If frames one and 11 are visible and frame two is invisible when you select FcrvEdit -> Extrap Mode -> Cycle from the Motion module, you expect that frames 11, 21, 31 and 41 will be visible. However, a delay of one frame for each cycle occurs and makes the frame that you want to be visible, invisible.

To correct this problem, enter a time value of zero for frame two and a time value of 10.9 for frame three when you select FcrvEdit -> Set Key. By offsetting the time value, the correct frames for each cycle are displayed.
