I am very new to 3d Studio Max, and my only experience with 3d animation is Lightwave from about 4 years ago.

I am currently working on a digital prototype of a set for an opera that has a multitude of moving platforms. So far I have got it set up to run thought the different acts to show how the set can function. I am more or using this as a storyboard for a presentation. I really can't figure out how (or if there is even a way) to delay the transition to the next scene, so I won't hop into movement right away.

Or is there away to copy and paste key frames, so for example lets say at frame 120 act 1 scene 1 has transitioned from preshow. Is there a way to copy frame 120 and paste it at frame 180 to start the movement going into act1 scene 2?

Thanks
