Keeping keyframes intact when time-stretching a layer


    When you time-stretch a layer, the positions of its keyframes stretch with it by default. You can circumvent this behavior by cutting and pasting keyframes.

To time-stretch a layer but not its keyframes:

  1. Make a note of the time at which the first keyframe appears.
  2. In the layer outline, click the name of one or more layer properties containing the keyframes you want to keep at the same times.
  3. Choose Edit > Cut.
  4. Move or stretch the layer to its new In and Out points.
  5. Move the current-time marker to the time at which the first keyframe appeared before you cut the keyframes.
  6. Choose Edit > Paste.
