Changing several keyframe values at once


    You can change the values of multiple keyframes on multiple layers at one time; however, all the selected keyframes must belong to the same layer property. The way the values change depends on how you make the change:

    • If you change a value numerically, all selected keyframes use the new value exactly. In other words, you make an absolute change. For example, if you select several Position keyframes on a motion path and numerically specify a Position value for one of them, all selected keyframes move to the same position.
    • If you change a value graphically in the Composition or Layer window, all selected keyframes change using the difference between the old and new values, not the values themselves. In other words, you make a relative change. For example, if you select several Position keyframes on a motion path and then drag one of them 10 pixels to the left, they all move 10 pixels to the left of their original positions.

    You can also change the value of several layers at once by parenting them. For information on parenting layers, seeUnderstanding parent layers.

To set multiple keyframes to the same value:

  1. Select the keyframes you want to change. See Navigating and selecting keyframes. All keyframes you select must be for the same property.
  2. Change the value of any selected keyframe.
