Again, this will only add frames at the point being "stretched."  It will

not redistribute keyframes at other places in the timeline.  So, if you

have a single tween and you want to change its duration, your technique is

fine.  I've used it lots myself. But it won't work over an area that

encloses keyframes.


In other words, lets say you have a timeline with frames (represented by

o's) and keyframes (represented by X's):


oooXooooooXooooXoXooXooX

you can change it to:

oooXooooooooooooooooXooooXoXooXooX (dragging out the second keyframe)

or:

oooXooooooXooooXoXooXooXoooooooo (dragging outthe end)

or:

oooXXooooXoXooXooX (dragging IN the second keyframe 'til it's beside the

first keyframe).


What you cannot do in a single "stretch" is:

ooooooXoooooooooooooXoooooooooXoooXoooooXoooooXo (stretch the length of the

timeline while retaining the relative proportions of time between keyframes).
