New Sequence
Use this command to create a new sequence on the active track. It opens a dialog, enabling you to
enter the start and end time of the sequence. To the right of these values, the overall length of the
sequence is displayed. You can optionally make the sequence loop a number of times. You can enter
the overall loop length or number of loops. These two values are linked to one another and will change
according to each other’s value. Any looped range of sequences is shown in a lighter gray. This range
is the automatically generated loop and cannot have further keys added to it.
By enabling the Soft option, you can dene whether CINEMA 4D should softly interpolate between
the individual loop sections. When enabling the Soft option, keep in mind that the last key should
not be directly at the end of the sequence, otherwise CINEMA 4D will have insufcient time for the
interpolation. To avoid sudden jumps, always leave some space at the end of the original sequence.
New sequences can also be ‘dragged out’ directly in the Timeline. To create
a sequence in this way, Ctrl-drag within the track. Keep the mouse button
pressed and drag the pointer to the right or left to dene the sequence.
