Range

Mark a stretch of the timeline, then operate on just that stretch — Clear it, Copy it, Paste it somewhere else. New in v1.1.

Tier: Free for all Menu: Polish → Range

The Region — one concept, many tools​

The Region is the marked interval on the timeline — the same S/E handles you already use for loop playback (Set Start / Set End in the bottom toolbar, or drag the handles directly).

Mark it once and several tools can scope to it: Range operates on it, Smooth can restrict to it, Loop playback honors it. Learn the Region once, use it everywhere.

The three live actions​

🧽 Clear​

Wipes the keys inside the Region and bridges the gap smoothly — the boundary poses are pinned and the motion flows from one side to the other instead of leaving a hole.

Use it when a stretch of a capture went wrong (a stumble, a tracking glitch) but the rest is gold: mark the bad stretch, Clear, and the clip heals over it.

📋 Copy​

Grabs every key inside the Region into the clipboard. The panel stays open and tells you how many frames you're holding.

📥 Paste​

Move the Region to where you want the copied stretch (drag the S handle or use Set Start), then Paste. The clipboard frames land at the Region start, overwriting what's there.

Copy + Paste together are the "repeat that good part" workflow: capture one great gesture, copy it, paste it later in the clip.

Coming in v1.2 — honest SOON badges​

Two buttons in the panel are visibly badged SOON — they're real roadmap, not decoration:

  • Stretch — retime the Region: slow down or speed up just that stretch, rippling the rest of the clip.
  • Re-bake — re-generate the Region from the original capture source.

Workflow — repairing a capture​

  1. Capture a take via Vision Capture. Most of it is great; frames 40-60 glitched.
  2. Mark the Region: scrub to frame 40, Set Start; scrub to 60, Set End.
  3. Polish → Range → Clear. The glitch is gone, the motion bridges smoothly.
  4. Need something there? Mark a Region around a good gesture elsewhere, Copy, move the Region back to frame 40, Paste.
  5. Ctrl+Z undoes any step — all three actions are normal undo history.

Edge cases​

Paste with nothing copied​

Paste stays disabled until something is in the clipboard. Copy first.

Pasting a long stretch near the clip end​

Paste overwrites from the Region start forward. If the clipboard is longer than what remains, the paste writes what fits within the clip.

Clearing the whole clip​

Technically possible (Region = full clip), but you probably want File → New Scene at that point.

  • Smooth — also Region-aware; smooth just the marked stretch
  • Simplify Keyframes — thin the keys after assembling your clip
  • Loop Fixer — make the assembled clip loop cleanly
