Moving and copying keyframes
Move keyframes
You can move any keyframe to a different point in time. When you move keyframes, you move the values and
settings they contain. Moving keyframes makes it easy to change the speed of animations.
You can move selected keyframes over and past surrounding keyframes. In addition, you can drag them beyond the
In and Out points of the clip, but they are constrained to the limits of the source media.
Note: The first keyframe always uses the Start Keyframe icon
and the last keyframe always uses the End Keyframe
icon
.
❖
Use the Selection or Pen tool to do one of the following:
•
In the Timeline panel, select one or more keyframes and drag to the desired time.
•
In the Effect Controls panel, select one or more keyframe markers and drag to the desired time.
Note: When you move more than one keyframe at one time, the selected keyframes maintain their relative distance.
Copy and paste keyframes
You can copy keyframes and paste them either to a new time in the clip’s property or to the same effect property in
a different clip, using the Effect Controls panel. To quickly apply the same keyframe values at another point in time
or in another clip or track, copy and paste the keyframes in the Timeline panel.

Copy and paste keyframes in the Effect Controls panel
When you paste keyframes into another clip, they appear in the corresponding property in the target clip’s effect in
the Effect Controls panel. The earliest keyframe appears at the current time, and the other keyframes follow in
relative order. If the target clip is shorter than the source clip, keyframes that occur after the target clip’s Out point
are pasted to the clip but don’t appear unless you disable the Pin To Clip option. The keyframes remain selected
after pasting, so you can immediately move them in the target clip.

indicator to where you want the first keyframe to appear, and choose Edit > Paste.
You can also copy a keyframe by dragging. In the Timeline of the Effect Controls panel, hold down the Alt key
(Windows) or Option key (Mac OS) and drag a keyframe to a new location.
