Display and modify keyframes in the Timeline

You can move or delete keyframes that are displayed in the Timeline. You can also display the animation curve for a selected keyframe, using the Keyframe Editor.

For more information on the Keyframe Editor, see Keyframing overview.

Display keyframes in the Timeline track area

Note: Don’t confuse the Show/Hide Keyframes button with the Show/Hide Keyframe Editor button, located on the right side of the timing toolbar. The former turns the display of keyframes in the Timeline track area on and off; the latter expands and collapses the Keyframe Editor in the Timing pane.

Move a keyframe’s position in time

Moving a keyframe in the Timeline modifies the keyframe’s position in time (but not its value).

Change a keyframe’s value

To change a keyframe’s value (as opposed to its position in time), do one of the following:

Copy and paste keyframes

  1. In the Timeline, select the object that contains the keyframes you want to copy.

  2. In the Timeline track area, select or Shift-select keyframes, then choose Edit > Copy (or press Command-C).

  3. In the Timeline track area, select the target object for the copied keyframes, then choose Edit > Paste (or press Command-V).

Delete a keyframe or group of selected keyframes
