Navigating and moving keyframes

Once an object property has been activated, the keyframe column displays a keyframe check box and previous keyframe and next keyframe arrows. These arrows move the current-time marker to the previous or next keyframe for that property of the selected object.

The Previous Keyframe and Next Keyframe commands in the Timeline menu move the current-time marker to the previous or next keyframe for the selected object, regardless of property. For example, suppose you have keyframes at 1 second and 3 seconds for position, and at 2 seconds and 4 seconds for color. Choosing the Next Keyframe command first moves the current-time marker to the position property at 1 second, choosing it again moves the marker to the color property at 2 seconds, and so on.

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

Do one of the following:

• Click the left or right arrow   in the keyframe column to move to the previous or next keyframe for that property of the selected object.
• Select the Timeline window, and choose Timeline > Previous Keyframe, or Timeline > Next Keyframe.

To move a keyframe:

Drag the keyframe to a new position in the timeline. You can select multiple keyframes by Shift-clicking or dragging. You can then move them as a group, maintaining their relative positions.
