To move to the end of the animation, you'll need to change your position on the **timeline**. This is the numbered line representing the animation in seconds.

## Copy the first pose The first pose is at `0:00` on the timeline. 1. In the **Animation Editor**, click on the **top white diamond** in the timeline. The diamond represents the entire start pose. Make sure the white diamond has a blue border (meaning it's selected)

2. Copy the pose by pressing CtrlC or ⌘C. 3. To move to the animation end, find the box for current time, click on it, and **clear** the text inside. In that box, type `1:00` and press Enter. Notice the blue line will move to the animation's end.

4. To paste the first pose at the end, press CtrlV or ⌘V. A new set of diamonds will appear at the end.
