  Timeline basics

  Posted by Gerrit Velthuis on March 4, 2011 at 2:33 pm

  I’m investigating the ins/outs of the Timeline manager and having the following problem.
  Working on a long animation, I’m finetuning the timing while zoomed in on certain segments/sequences.
  I want to move a keyframe further in time while all other keyframes are pushed forward.
  The only way I found to do so, was selecting all frames after a certain point and move that selection to the right.
  But that means zooming in and out all the time; can’t be the best option.
  There is an option “insert frames” in the “functions menu” of the timeline editor but that is greyed-out, whatever I try to do (the help-file isn’t helpfull on that subject).
  There must be something like “extend selection to end”, I suppose, but I can’t find it.

  I don’t think you can directly select “everything after” on a track but you can open a second Timeline and use one (or more) for close up work and the other for the zoomed out view.

  Yes, thanks, that might be helpfull; still think it should be easier, but anyway

  Another option is to use the select range command.

  Think I posted twice, sorry.
  I think I try to get used to two timeline windows, after installing second monitor
  Spent rest of the day searching for the adapter to connect one to my iMac.
  It must be somewhere . . . . .
