Convert animation
-
How can I convert an animation with single keyframes I download to an existing animation I am working in.

Hi Dutchbird,
Please share an example file. Images do not tell the whole story. I'm unclear on what "download" means in the context of your question. Keep it small, and this forum accepts ".c4d" files.
Animation is change over time. That change is in Keyframes. If the keyframes double the information frame to frame, then there are tools to clean that up. But just showing an image doesn't tell me what information is in these keyframes.
When I get an example, I can tell what is possible.
All the best

Thanks for the File, Dutchbird, and for using Wetransfer.
The typical function to use would be this here:

This is typically worse than Spline, but it might improve the results in this case. The Spline interpolation has handles of zero. Which is useless, to begin with.
When set to Linear, the critical reduction works better, BUT, which is significant, but areas with no change might become new values, some even in a waveform. If you don't like to do each channel manually, leave it as it is, except for the Spline interpolation setting.The idea of minimal keyframes is to have the most power in a few keyframes. If each frame has one, the power is small.
YOu can use the Reduced Modification Curve instead.
When I clean up my motion capture data from the Rokoko Suit, that is my primary tool.
