User Manual

To change the position of a keyframe using the toolbar, do one of the following:
 Select a keyframe, and then enter a new frame number in the Time Edit box.
 Choose T Offset from the Time Editor pop-up, select one or more keyframes, and enter
a frame offset.
 Choose T Scale from the Time Editor pop-up, select one or more keyframes, and enter
a multiplier added to the current playhead frame position. For instance, if the playhead
is on frame 10 and the keyframe is on frame 30, entering the TScale value of 2 will
position the keyframe on frame 50. The distance between the playhead and original
keyframe is 20, so (20 x 2) = 40, which is then added to the playhead position.
Time Stretching Keyframes
If you select a range of keyframes in a keyframe track, you can turn on the Time Stretch tool to
show a box used to squeeze and stretch the entire range of keyframes relative to one another.
The Time Stretcher changes the overall timing of a sequence of keyframes without losing the
relative timing from one keyframe to the next. Alternatively, you can turn on Time Stretch and
draw a bounding box around the keyframes you want to adjust to create a time-stretching
boundary that way. Click the Time Stretch tool again to turn it off.

The Keyframe Spreadsheet
If you turn on the Spreadsheet and then click on the name of a layer in the keyframe track, the
numeric time position and value (or values if it’s a multi-dimensional parameter) of each
keyframe appear as entries in the cells of the Spreadsheet. Each column represents one
keyframe, while each row represents a single aspect of each keyframe.
Editing keyframes in the Spreadsheet.
For example, if you’re animating a blur, then the “Key Frame” row shows the frame each
keyframe is positioned at, and the “Blur1BlurSize” row shows the blur size at each keyframe. If
you change the Key Frame value of any keyframe, you’ll move that keyframe to a new frame of
the Timeline.
