Hey all,
Im a newb on a mac and i need help!
i have a piece of animation and i want to move it forward on my time line. so i have more room in the 'front and back'.
How do i do that? when i grab all my 'lines' in graph editor and push down on the middle button on my mouse, i just zoom in. when i THOUGHT if you push W and hold down, you can move lines, but again i just zoom in.
Need of help please!

YES! it worked, thank you so much stwert!
Also one more question, in my channels, whenever i click on the timeline to see the animation, i have to go back click on VIZ: crtl and re enter numbers for my controls. How do i make it that it doesn't default to 0 ever time i go to the timeline?
if that makes any sense.
Not sure I quite understand, a screenshot would help, but if you're not setting a key for the values that you enter, they will revert back to the default whenever you change your position on the timeline.
Okay that helps, I think this may be specific to this rig... did you make it or get it somewhere? What is viz: ctrl, and what is an example of a channel that you have to select?
it's called the norman rig and it's used a lot or so i hear. thats what my teacher told me.
im still new to maya so im sorta guessing at some of this....
well its under channels, then i click on the logo on the ground that says viz: crtl and it's under controls: there's ones that i have to put a number under to be able to move his limbs around. All extra, face crtl, trunk crlt, right arm crtl. i have to put a '1' in these for me to be able to move for each frame on the timeline.
the issue is, whenever i click over to another frame on the timeline i have to keep going back into the viz: crtl channels, control and making these changes instead of it just caring over.
Oh okay, I think norman is pretty well used. Check that you don't have any keys for the viz: ctrl... since it sounds like that's going to be used just to display controls. If the number channel is keyed, then it will change when you move along the timeline.
the only other thing i can think of, since at school im on a PC and i grew to know how to use PC controls, im still getting used how to use it on my mac at home.
when you are just on the main screen, and you want to make a change, how'd move to the left or right? does it have to be with the middle scroll key?
for instance, im working on a part of him and i want move to the left, with out having to zoom out.
Yes, tracking is with alt + MMB. Even on a mac, the mouse needs three buttons that work with maya. I know there's sometimes problems with drivers or something, I'm not that much of a mac guru.

you can select the keys in the graph editor. in the top left box type
+=(number of frames to move)
or
-=(number of frames)
and this will slip your anim + or - the number of frames you want.
