Deleting keyframes


    You can delete any keyframe from the timeline. When you delete an interior keyframe (that is, neither the first nor last keyframe for a property), the value of the property at each of the affected regular animation frames is adjusted to create a smooth transition between existing keyframes.

To delete a keyframe:

    Do one of the following:

    • Select a keyframe (Shift-click to select additional keyframes). Press Backspace or Delete (Windows) or Delete (Mac OS).
    • Align the current-time marker with the keyframe that you want to delete. Click the check box in the keyframe column for that keyframe.
    • To delete all keyframes for one object property, deactivate the object property by clicking its stopwatch icon the Stopwatch button in the object hierarchy. When you click the stopwatch to deactivate a property, keyframes for that property are removed, and the value of the property becomes the value at the current time. You cannot restore deleted keyframes by reselecting the stopwatch.

    Note: If you accidentally delete keyframes, choose Edit > Undo.
