I am following this tutorial but when I reach this part part at 19:38 I press Ctrl + C it copies but when I press Ctrl + Shift + V nothing happens.

A little menu appears on the side with Flipped on X-Axis selected but the right side doesn't copy the left side.

What am I doing wrong?

In order to perform any kind of mirroring operation on your bones the names on the left and right side of your rig must have identical names, other than the L/R indication. All the bones on the right side of your armature have '.001' at the end of the names left over from being copied at some point. Remove the .001 from each of the names on the right side so they match the left side and you will be able to paste the pose mirrored.

As said by Macklehatton, your bones have bad suffixes, they should end with ".r" (or "_r" or ".R" or "_R"...) if you want Blender to understand that you want to mirror. Your left bones are correctly named, so you should delete all your right bones, then select the left bones and go to Armature > Symmetrized. The new bones will automatically be called with the good suffixes.

  • $\begingroup$ Nice, I didn't realize what symmetrize actually does. Looks like it only works if the existing bones already have an L or R in the name, which can be added to an unlabeled rig with AutoName Left/Right in the same menu. That was probably why I didn't understand what it does. I've been looking for this feature recently, thanks. $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 28, 2018 at 18:41
  • $\begingroup$ Yes, Symmetrize makes the process a bit simpler than before ;) $\endgroup$ Commented Sep 28, 2018 at 18:47

    $\begingroup$ Hello, thanks for taking the time to answer the question. Could you add a little more information about the actual workflow ? It's better if you don't resort to linking an external video since it may not be always available in the future. $\endgroup$ Commented Jan 11, 2021 at 16:20
