Copy Animation to Selected works similarly to how properties, materials, modifiers, and constraints operate in Blender: you select all the objects you want to share the animation, then designate one object as the Active object by shift+selecting it. Right-click to access the AnimCopy menu.

Select Copy Animation to Selected, and all the selected objects will receive the animation data you specify in the Redo Panel.

Redo Panel

Target

All

Every F-Curve will be copied.

Transform

Only Location, Scale, and Rotation animations will be copied.

Selected F-Curves

Only the Active Object’s selected F-Curves will be copied.

Selected Keyframes

Only the Active Object’s selected Keyframes will be copied.

Shared Action (New Slot)

The Shared Action (New Slot) toggle controls how copied F-Curves are assigned when Blender’s Action Slot API is available (Blender 4.4+). Instead of duplicating the entire Action for each target, you can choose to share the original Action and create a new slot for each target.

• Enabled: All selected targets share the active object’s Action. A new named slot (matching the target’s name) is created inside that shared Action for each target, keeping all curves together in one Action data-block.
• Disabled: Each target gets its own separate copy of the Action. This preserves the original Action on the active object and places the copied curves into new Action data-blocks for each target.

Copy Modifiers

The Active Object’s F-Curve Modifiers will be copied.

Copy Mode

Copy Mode determines how the F-Curves are applied to the target objects. You can choose between:

• Replace: Remove any matching F-Curves on the target and overwrite them with the copied ones—ideal for a clean swap.
• Add: Append the copied keyframes to existing F-Curves on the target—useful for layering or extending animations.

Frame Offset

Frame Offset shifts all copied keyframes by the specified number of frames, allowing you to time-offset the animation on the target.

Remap X, Y, Z

Adjust the axis mapping for rigs with different bone or control orientations. Applies to armature objects and their pose bones.

Paste Extrapolation

Toggle whether the extrapolation mode of the source F-Curve is also applied to the copied curves.
