AE SCRIPTING: Change the time of a position keyframe
I have a null with a keyframe in position set at second 5. I want to select that keyframe with my code and change it’s time value to 2 so it appears at second 2 in the timeline. Thnaks for the answers.

This is going to sound like a stupid question, but why not just move the keyframe?

This is painful, but there is no method in scripting for moving a keyframe. You must read the values of the keyframe, write a new keyframe with those values at the new time, and delete the old keyframe.

I’m trying to assemble a whole project template almost by its own with a script, so I just wrote a little example of what I need to know to add it to my script 🙂

That’s what I didn’t want to hear ☹
Now I’m having problems copying my easeIn and easeOut to the new keyframes haha

See Property Object on p. 124 in the After Effects CS6 Scripting Guide [link], and pay special attention to the methods at the bottom of p. 125 and the top of p. 126. You have to make sure to recreate all the interpolation and tangent properties of the keyframe.
