cycling only a portion of an animation curve

anyone know how to cycle animation curves (pre / post infinity) in the graph editor - but only for a particular section of the curve?

I've got a pose keyed at frame 0, and I want to cycle the animation from frame 1 onwards...

anyway to do that aside from manually cutting and pasting many times?

thanks

Check out TRAX. This type of thing is exactly what TRAX is for.

Pretty cool, check the docs for details user added image

No prob!

Yeah, I just tried it for the first time this weekend, and it is SUPER easy to setup.

Just select your keys in a given shot in the Graph Ed. and make it a TRAX shot. Done!

Once it is in TRAX you can mess with the timing, reverse it, slow it down, etc.

Pretty cool. Good luck!
