Steps to Change a Character’s Pose Mid-Slide
- Select the character whose pose you want to change.
- On the timeline, move the playhead to where you want the pose to change. In our example, this will happen at the 7th second.
- With the character still selected, copy the character and then paste it exactly on top of the original character using the following keyboard shortcut:

For PC: ctrl + shift + v
- Change the pose of the copied character.

- Select the character with the 'original pose' and change its duration so that it ends immediately before the 'changed pose.' In our example, this will happen at the 7th second.
- Set the exit effect of the 'original pose' to No Effect.
The character's pose will change on the slide, as in the example below:
