Copy Keys from blendshape and Paste on different Mesh?

[JamesJ3D]

Is it possible to copy the blendshape keys from a blendshape on one mesh and paste it on a different mesh with different geo?

I tried in the graph editor but no dice.

I'm only interested in the timings of the keys.

Thanks.

If the names of your blendShape channels are the same . you can copy and paste from the graph editor. 

open the one with animation. in the GE and select all the channels in the editors outliner. 

 copy

select the other blend shape

 paste

if the names are different, you can use the node editor to connect the output of each animation node to the channel of each blendShape channel. 

 if you graph the inputs of the keyed blendShape you will see the animation nodes. and how they are connected. 

 you can then connect them to your new blendShape instead.
