Please help! :-) Keyframe trouble
I’m having trouble and searched for answers and still can’t find what I’m looking for. I’m using AE CS4 on a Mac for a slideshow. I’ve been working for about two days now with no trouble. Then today, I imported some new footage and then the trouble started. The new footage was in the form of .jpg images. When I set position & scale keyframes for the images, the keyframes appear, but I can’t select them or move them. The only way to select them is to click and drag, but still I can’t move them down the timeline. Any suggestions? I haven’t done anything different to the program and when I open a new project and create a new layer with keyframes, I’m able to adjust them and select them. I just don’t know what went wrong. I checked the forums, but didn’t see anything relevant, but perhaps I overlooked something so I don’t know. Thanks for your time!

Did you ever get a solution for this? I’m having the same trouble, and can’t seem to find an answer anywhere.
Sincere thanks,

I’m having this exact same problem. Did you ever have any luck figuring it out?
Thanks! -
Hey, unfortunately I never found a solution. I had to start over with my slideshow. IDK why it did that, but if I find an answer in the next day or two I will post it.

FOUND THE ANSWER
Turn off your Live Update switch.
I think that after you pass a certain number of layers the LiveUpdate engine freaks out. -
I Just encountered the same problem today when I pasted the opacity keyframes from one layer to the layer below it. Both layers are 720×486 JPEGS in a rather long slideshow. From that layer on, any keyframe I place, is locked and unmovable. The odd thing to me is that I am still able to move all the keyframes that existed before the copy and paste occurred. I have tried turning off the Live Update switch, but the problem remains.

Same problem! On the 80th layer I introduced to the comp, the keyframes are unselectable. Live update is off. Prefs are trashed. Is there a solution or is this a known bug?

Yup, I’ve got AE 9.0.3, and already have my system properly configured as you suggested. And footage has been converted.
Thanks anyway, I just precomped some things, and once my layer count was down from 80, the keyframes began working properly. Weird!
Thanks for the input!

Has anyone found a solution to this? Does Adobe even know about it? I too can only select certain keyframes buy marqueeing but cannot move them and have followed every outline to all the solutions on here to no avail. It’s becoming quite frustrating to have to set all of these kf’s from scratch everytime this client wants to make changes…

I just experienced the same problem others have described here and was able to resolve it (after reading some of the helpful tips here). In my case, this started to occur with a PNG still file. I converted it to a PSD, re-imported the file and all is well. I hope that helps some of you.
