 Key frames are shown as triangles, with an apex at the beginning. You can easily move a key frame by dragging it with the left mouse button. When moved, the key frame retains its key pose in its last frame. Also, dragging the left edge of a key frame will change its duration (or, in other words, the position where the transition from the previous pose starts). Double-click on a key frame to quickly go to the last frame of a key frame, which contains the key pose.

-Mocap capabilities of [[iPi Mocap Studio]] lack tracking finger poses. Mainly because the resolution of input data is not sufficient for that. When it comes to hands, there is a need for employing the traditional keyframing technique in 3rd party animation software.

 However, when doing keyframing over mocap data, it is very convenient to have a video reference. Hand keyframing feature allows to do this right in [[iPi Mocap Studio]].
