Note:

Move the current-time indicator to a keyframe

After you set the initial keyframe for a property, Photoshop displays the keyframe navigator, which you can use to move from keyframe to keyframe
or to set or remove keyframes. When the keyframe navigator diamond is active (yellow), the current-time indicator lies precisely at a keyframe for
that layer property. When the keyframe navigator diamond is inactive (gray), the current-time indicator lies between keyframes. When arrows
appear on each side of the keyframe navigator box, other keyframes for that property exist on both sides of the current time.

In the Animation panel (Photoshop Extended CS5) or Timeline panel (CS6), click a keyframe navigator arrow. The arrow to the left moves
the current-time indicator to the previous keyframe. The arrow to the right moves the current-time indicator to the next keyframe.

Select keyframes

In the Animation panel (Photoshop Extended CS5) or Timeline panel (CS6), do any of the following:

To select a keyframe, click the keyframe icon.

To select multiple keyframes, Shift-click the keyframes or drag a selection marquee around the keyframes.

To select all keyframes for a layer property, click the layer property name next to the stopwatch icon.

Move keyframes

1. In the Animation panel (Photoshop Extended CS5) or Timeline panel (CS6), select one or more keyframes.

2. Drag any of the selected keyframe icons to the desired time. (If you selected multiple keyframes, they move as a group and maintain the

same time spacing.)

To expand or compress the spacing of multiple keyframes, Alt-drag (Windows) or Option-drag (Mac OS) the first or last keyframe in the
selection. The keyframe at the opposite end of the selection remains in place as you drag, slowing down or speeding up the animation.

Copy and paste keyframes

You can copy keyframes for a property (such as Position) to the same property in any layer. When you paste keyframes, they reflect the copied
offset from the current-time indicator.

You can copy keyframes from only one layer at a time. When you paste keyframes into another layer, they appear in the corresponding property in
the destination layer. The earliest keyframe appears at the current time, and the other keyframes follow in relative order. The keyframes remain
selected after pasting, so you can immediately move them in the timeline.

You can copy and paste keyframes between more than one property at a time.

1. In the Animation panel (Photoshop Extended CS5) or Timeline panel (CS6), display the layer property containing the keyframes you want to

copy.

2. Select one or more keyframes.

3. Right-click a selected keyframe, and choose Copy Keyframes.

4. In the Animation panel containing the destination layer, move the current-time indicator to the point in time where you want the keyframes to

appear.

5. Select the destination layer.
