I am in Persona and I am trying to create a new animation sequence asset. I go to Create Asset → Create Animation → Create from current pose. This creates a new one frame animation sequence from the current pose. I am able to set keys on the single frame but I cannot figure out how to add additional frames or how to set time bounds on the animation. Hopefully this is an easy answer.

Thanks.

I was wondering this too, the best way i found so far is to start a recording, and let it play for a bit, this creates a new animation from the pose you are in and adds frames till you tell it to stop recording. It seems easy to remove frames but they haven’t added in a feature to easily add frames. Other than that you can instead of creating a new animation asset just duplicate an animation that is close to what you want and start editing keys from there as it will have frames in it. Hope that helps 🙂

Right click on the timeline at the bottom of your animation graph. You can add frames there.

Wharbio is right or click Append at the end or Append at the beginning to manually type in the amount of frames you want to add. Don’t forget to mark this section answered!

Its actually append frame as @Luxar_Media highlighted. NOT add frame.  
If you choose Add frame, it won’t add anything. So probably you’ve highlighted the wrong answer for the “solved” section
