I just started using KM last week and love it! Great stuff. I do have a few questions and I apologize if they have already been addressed (though I've tried to look through the help, manual and this forum).
1. Say I want to move a text box 10 frames to the left. Is there someway to do this without having to click "shift left" ten times? If you've got 60 frames in the scene and want to go from the end to the beginning, it seems there should be an easier way to do this?
2. When I copy an object from one scene to another, it pastes as the same object. When I change the properties of the object in the second scene, it changes the original one in the first scene (for example renaming the object). Is there a way to copy items and have them be independent?
3. Another copy-paste problem. Say I've got text which changes color for 10 frames. I'd like to copy that text object (all ten frames) and paste it (all ten frames) so I can have a second text box which behaves like the first without having to manually enter each property again. When I try to do this, only one frame is pasted. I try to copy the other frames and it assigns each to a new object.
4. Finally, I'm having trouble with changing the properties objects in multiple frames. I use the selection scope for all frames, then try to change the objects position and it doesn't change them. Also, just to note, it looks like there's some bug with the position. It seems to keep the previous frames position in the properties box until you click twice, but then it sometimes doesn't like the new position I input. Anyone know of this issue?
I'd appreciate any help!
Thanks,
