Navigating to and selecting keyframes

If you want to modify or copy a keyframe, first select it. After Effects provides many methods for navigating to and selecting one or more keyframes.

To move the current-time indicator to the previous or next keyframe:

Click a keyframe navigator arrow. The arrow to the left moves the current-time indicator to the previous keyframe. The arrow to the right moves the current-time indicator to the next keyframe.

To snap the current-time indicator to a keyframe:

Press Shift as you drag the current-time indicator to a keyframe.

To select a keyframe:

Click the keyframe icon in the Timeline window's time graph.

To select multiple keyframes:

Do one of the following:

• Press Shift as you click to select multiple contiguous or noncontiguous keyframes.
• Drag a marquee around the keyframes to select contiguous keyframes.

To select all keyframes for a layer property:

In the layer outline, click the layer property name. For example, click the word "Position" to select all the Position keyframes for a layer.

To select all keyframes in a property that have the same value:

Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a keyframe and choose Select Equal Keyframes from the context menu that appears.
