  Remap keyframes

  Posted by Scrimshaw1803 on May 24, 2006 at 2:11 am

  I have multiple keyframes across 30 or so effects and transforms spread throughout 15 layers and two nested comps.

  Is there an easy way to move all of these keyframes back 10 seconds in time? What I want to do is pad an extra 10 seconds to the beginning of my comp but keep the relative positions of all of my keyframes across layers and precomps.

  Select the layers, then hit U. This should reveal all keyframes for the layer. Select them all, then drag them 10 seconds to the right. Make sure that you select them all. Use markers if you need to.
  Then go into the nested comps and drag them the same amount.

  Does that do it?

  Yes, that was the only way I knew to accomplish this but I was curious if there was a “pad” type functionality that would automate this.

  Maybe I just need a couple pointers on this technique.

  My method is to select all keyframes like you said. Then I move the current frame indicator to where I want the first keyframe to start, then I shift drag the first keyframe to snap to the current frame indicator. All the others move relatively since they are all selected.

  However, I then have to go into all the nested comps and perform the same steps. I was curious if I was missing an easier way to do this.
