Editing Keyframes

Keyframes define values at specific frames in an animation.

Once a channel exists, you can add, move, copy, paste, and delete keyframes in the Timeline.

Creating Keyframes

To create keyframes:

1. Select the object you want to animate.
2. Move the playhead to the frame where you want to create a keyframe.
3. Change the animated property in the Inspector or with the relevant tool.
4. Create the keyframe using one of the following commands:
   • Animation > Key All Animated Properties
   • Animation > Key Changed Properties
   • Right-click a property in the Inspector and select Key Selected

Repeat this process at other frames to build the animation.

Selecting Keyframes

Keyframes can be selected directly in the Timeline.

• Click a keyframe to select it.
• Click and drag to select multiple keyframes.
• Hold Ctrl or Shift while clicking to extend or change the selection.

Deleting Keyframes

To delete selected keyframes, right-click them in the Timeline and choose Delete Keyframes.

To remove all keyframes from a channel, right-click the channel and choose Clear Channel.

Moving Keyframes

To move keyframes, select them and drag them to a new frame position in the Timeline.

Copying and Pasting Keyframes

To copy keyframes:

1. Select the keyframes.
2. Right-click and choose Copy Keyframes.

To paste them:

1. Select the target channel and frame.
2. Right-click and choose Paste Keyframes.

Easing Functions

When a channel uses Tween interpolation, each keyframe can use an easing function.

To change the easing function:

1. Select one or more keyframes.
2. Right-click the selection.
3. Open Set Easing Function.
4. Choose the easing function you want to use.

Different easing functions change how motion accelerates or slows down between keyframes.
