Chapter 6 Keyframes and Curves 421
Note: Control-clicking a keyframe displays a shortcut menu containing the parameter
name and value for each keyframe. If more than one keyframe is at the same point in
time, the shortcut menu lists all of them.
3 Drag the keyframe until it lines up with the edge of the object. If you press the Shift
key while you drag, the keyframe snaps to the edges of other objects.
You can use this same technique to align keyframes from one object to keyframes in
another object. In this way, you can arrange two objects to both fade in or blur into
focus at exactly the same frame. It doesn’t matter whether the objects are in the same
layer or not.
To align keyframes across objects:
1 Click the Show/Hide Keyframes button in the Timeline.
2 Identify the keyframe you want to move.
3 Find the object containing the parallel action.
4 Drag the keyframe in the first object until it lines up with the corresponding keyframe
in the second object.
Aligning Keyframes to Markers
Other objects in your Timeline can also serve as guides for where to move your
keyframes. For example, you may have a music cue or line of narration where you want
a particular effect to end or change.
