Delete keyframes

If you no longer need a keyframe, you can easily delete it from an effect property in either the Effect Controls or the
Timeline panel. You can remove all keyframes at once or deactivate keyframes for the effect property. In the Effect
Controls, when you deactivate keyframes with the Toggle Animation button, existing keyframes are deleted and no
new keyframes can be created until you reactivate keyframes.

1

Make sure that the effect property’s graphs are visible in the Effect Controls panel or Timeline panel.

2

Do one of the following:

Select one or more keyframes and choose Edit > Clear. You can also press Delete.

Navigate the current-time indicator to the keyframe and click the Add/Remove Keyframe button.

(Effect Controls panel only) To delete all keyframes for an effect property, click the Toggle Animation button to
the left of the name of the effect or property. When prompted to confirm your decision, click

OK.

Note: When you deactivate the Toggle Animation button, keyframes for that property are permanently removed and
the value of that property becomes the value at the current time. You cannot restore deleted keyframes by reactivating
the Toggle Animation button. If you accidentally delete keyframes, choose Edit > Undo.

Edit keyframe graphs in the Effect Controls panel

Once you activate keyframing for an effect’s property, you can display the effect’s Value and Velocity graphs. Value
graphs provide information about the value of nonspatial keyframes (such as the Scale parameter of the Motion
effect) at any point in time. They also display and let you adjust the interpolation between keyframes. You can use
the Velocity graph to fine-tune the rate of change between keyframes.
