I noticed one of the import options for an Action is a "kfm" file. What is a kfm file for? How do you create one?

I believe that's the Kentucky Fried Movie format. It's an old format with lots of hit-and-miss data.

Ahhhh, the Kentucky Fried Movie format. For some reason, that reminds me of Vern ....
Thanks for the explanation!

I Believe KFM, if I recall correctly, is a "keyframe" file, To save one keyframe's data...
this page seems to confirm my memory..

Thanks, I did find that cryer.co.uk web page, but it doesn't really say anything about how to use it in Animation Master.

Try using it to save a keyframe of your action, then load that keyframe into another action?

when I tried exporting/importing kfm, A:M seemed to create keyframes on every frame for every bone in the model (yikes). The keyframes on every frame was probably because my setting for reducing was set to 1?. There didn't seem to be an option to say create only those keyframes for the bones that were moved. Looks to me its like a motion capture type file - or a baked action (thus kentuckey fried is really kentucky baked ) ?

I dimly recall Martin saying .kfm was implemented for a studio that requested it to work with other software they were using. Avalanche? I'm surprised it's still in there.

It would even make more work to get it out.... and I think if it is there and working. leave it.

*Fuchur*

Thanks for starting this thread! It made me try an experiment that is very close to what I'm looking for. The experiment is detailed here. Sometimes you find things where you least expect.
