Change Action Length?

[Jumbotuna]

In Lesson 5, "Take a Walk", my action length is 4:10 where it should be 1:10 according to the manual. How do I change the length of the action? (NOT the cycle length). Does this have to be done before the action is saved, or can you change the length after it's saved?

can you show a screen shot of your action's properties and the keyframes?

 

 

 

If you're looking at the actions properties in the chor, "Crop range" will control exactly which frame range of the original action is used. The action itself takes its "length" from its last keyframe.

In addition to what Robcat said, I think you can also change the length of the action by dragging the *blue* "Action Bar" to whatever frame you want. But the best way to change the length of the action, as stated above, is to place a keyframe on the last frame you want and make sure there are no keyframes after that.

Thanks Robcat.
