Sometimes when Maya has an active connection to the texture files, they become locked and 
the user cannot save over the filenames to update their contents. 
In such a case the user can only unlock the file when the Maya session closes. This is quite annoying and ineffcient.

Problem:
keyframes from camera tx, ty, tz, rx, ry, rz ranging from 1001 to 1195
need to have their timing remapped, such that the new timing is sped up by 2x
thus, the formula where kT = original frame, is ((kT - 1001) * 0.5) + 1001
This will give us new keyframes from frames 1001 - 1098.

New frame range after re-speed is 1001 - 1093, we just truncate frames 1094 - 1098.
