Moving keyframes


    You can move any keyframe to a different point in time. When you move keyframes, you move the values and settings they contain.

To move a keyframe to another time:

    Drag one keyframe icon to the desired time.

To move multiple keyframes to another time:

  1. Select the keyframes you want to move. (See Navigating to and selecting keyframes.)
  2. Drag any selected keyframe icon to the desired time. All of the other selected keyframes maintain their relative distance from the keyframe you drag.

To expand or contract a group of keyframes:

  1. Select at least three keyframes.
  2. Hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and drag the first or last selected keyframe to the desired time.
  3. For more information on modifying and copying keyframes, see Navigating to and selecting keyframes.

To move a keyframe precisely to a different time:

  1. Move the current-time indicator to the desired time.
  2. Hold down Shift after you begin to drag a keyframe icon to the current-time indicator. When you drag over the current-time indicator, the keyframe snaps to the current-time indicator.
