Copy and Paste Papagayo matrix

[scuba]

I followed Gil's excellent video on the matrix faces....I tried it and it worked great.  Thanks!!

I'm using the faces for only the chours sections of the song.  Since I spent a lot of time getting the face to where it looked good singing the music, I tried to select and copy/paste the phoneme's in other locations on the same model......  No luck. Am I missing a method to do this?

Currently you can't copy and paste inside the timing rows.  I haven't figured out how to handle it yet.  All the other copy/paste logic allows you to copy from and to any other row.  But if you start including timing rows then they can only paste at certain spots.  And do I allow timing and model rows to be copied together?  All the current logic uses the timing effects to determine the copy from and to locations so there's no way to select a target location inside a timing track.  I just don't know what we should make the requirements be for copy/paste that won't be confusing.

Scuba,

There was a post on fb quite recently where someone edited the xml seq file and copied it to another section. I have not tried it myself , but he said that it was quite easy - so may be something you could try for now.

The only think I don't see how they handled was if you copied and moved them you would need to update all the effect times.  It would be easy to move to another track if the time is staying the same but to copy and move it forward you would have to add an offset to all the times.

Yes I know , hence I said that I did not try it (I did ask him if he actually did that) - I still took the easy way and just did the words again in the next location , but then my sequencing is not at the spot on level that others probably are ..as long as the mouth movements kind of tally , I am happy for this year.

Thanks for the response...I'll take the easy way and repeat.

BTW: could this be done with a video? Is there a program that would allow you to export the frames, then import them into XL?
