Flipping keyframes

Hello everyone! I was wondering if there was a way to flip the key frames for a walking animation. Screenshot 2018-01-21 01.29.55.png

 

So for this animation I have copied frame 7 and pasted it to frame 19. Now I would like to flip frame 19 so it mirrors frame 7. Does that make sense? Thank you!

You can go to the graph editor and select that keyframes and use the scale tool and scale it inside out, it will inverse your keyframes or you can use "Lattice Deform Tool " from the graph editor and scale it inverse too.

I know how to get to the graph editor, but I am not sure how to inverse the scale. I also tried the deformer and I am not to sure how that one works.

Go to graph editor,

Select the key-frames then choose scale tool by pressing "R",

Click and hold on the center of the whole graph  ( not where keys are, click on empty space ) and drag to either left or right ( Middle Mouse button )

Hope this helps, If still facing issues, tell me.Smiley Happy

That is actually what I did. It was sort of working, but then it stops when I breach the next frame. Also this ends up moving the frame all together which is not what I want.  Thats assuming if I did the right actions.

Thats the problem with interpolations, select the controllers then go to graph editor and change those tangents to auto or spline or something as like that.Screenshot (45).jpg

This makes things cleaner, but it doesn't fix my issue.Screenshot 2018-01-23 00.43.37.png

Its close, but its not close enough. Also the frames move away from Frame 19.Frame.JPGThis is the result I wish to achieve.

Can you explain ? Here after changing it to auto tangents 7 and 19 are identical poses .

7 and 19 are identical frames. I want to mirror frame 19 to get the passing pose. That one image with the numbers was photoshoped. I want frame 19 to look like the picture from the last post. (THe one with the 19 on it)

That one you may have to manually do it.
