Controlling Keyframes
In addition to deleting keyframes, you can lock or disable them. Also, there are special
settings in the shortcut menu for keyframes that you can apply to control the shape of
your curve. For more information, see “
To lock or disable a keyframe:
m
Control-click the keyframe you want to modify, then choose Lock or Disable from the
shortcut menu.
Lock: Prevents any further modification to that keyframe.
Disable: Makes a keyframe temporarily ignored without deleting it.
Copying and Pasting Keyframes and Animation Curves
Keyframes and the animation curves they form can be moved from one parameter to
another using copy and paste commands. This technique can be useful for copying a
particular keyframe effect from one object to another, moving a keyframe path earlier
or later in the same parameter, or for creating keyframes on one parameter and
applying them to another parameter.
To copy keyframes, you must select the keyframes you want to copy, either individually,
or as an entire channel or channels.
To select keyframes, do one of the following:
m
Using the Edit tool, drag a selection box around the keyframes you want to select.
