Showing Key Markers
You can adjust the position of the keyframes in time, without worrying about manipulating
splines, by using the key markers. The horizontal time axis can show markers that indicate the
position of each keyframe. The display of these markers is enabled by right-clicking in the
graph and choosing Show > Key Markers from the contextual menu, or by clicking on the Show
Key Markers button in the toolbar.
The key markers show keyframes in the horizontal axis using the same color as the splines.
Copying and Pasting Keyframes
To precisely match animation, Keyframes can be copied to a new location on the same spline or
onto completely different splines and different tools.
There are two options in the graph’s contextual menu for copying keyframes. Choosing Copy
Points (Command-C) copies all selected points. Choosing Copy Value copies a single point
identified by the pointer from multiple selected points. This does not deselect your selection
set, and you can pick out numbers as needed.
To copy and paste points to a new location on the same spline:
1 Select the desired keyframes on the spline.
2 Right-click over the spline and choose Copy Points from the contextual menu or press
Command-C.
3 Click in an empty area of the graph to deselect all the copied points.
4 Move the playhead to the area of the spline where you want the points pasted and
press Command-V.
Or, move the pointer over the spline where you want the points pasted, and when the
spline highlights, right-click and choose Paste Points/Value.
Alternatively, you can copy and paste keyframes by dragging them with the mouse. After you
select the points, hold down the Command key and drag the points along the spline to where
you want them pasted.
