Parenting copied object

[cwinluvsu]

I am having a problem parenting an object that I copied.

For example, I can place a point on the first frame of an animation. If I copy the point to all frames and then parent it to a bone in the first frame, the point will be moved to a strange location in the following frames (see attached picture). In my example I parent the point to the chest of the character in the walk_forward animation. The point is moved to under the character in the second keyframe (and all following frames).

If I parent the point to the bone, and then copy it to all frames, the result is normal.

You're doing your steps in reverse.

1) Place your point in the very first frame at zero in the timeline.

2) Assign it to the hand bone.

3) select the point and press Control +C

4) Press Control+shift+V to paste it across the whole animation.
