  • How do you Nudge keyframes???

    Posted by Robyn Rhodes on March 6, 2009 at 11:08 pm

    Is there a way to nudge key frames in the timeline the way you can in After Effects? Please say yes! Please?

    Thanks a ton,

    The default shortcuts for moving forward and back one frame are g and f, but you can reassign them to the page up/down keys if you want using the command manager. There is not shift+nudge function to go forward/back 10 frames, but if you copy these scripts into your Library/Scripts folder you can assign them the shift + page up/down hotketys and have the same behavior as in AE:

    Thanks very much Adam. This is very helpful in general. I’m assuming there’s no way to nudge the actual keyframes in the timeline? My work around has been moving the playhead in the timeline with G and F and then moving the keyframe(s) to the playhead, clearly not as efficient as a keyframe nudge.I read somewhere that back in R9.5 or so, you could nudge keyframes with the arrow keys.

    Many thanks,

    Robyn

    [Robyn Rhodes] “I read somewhere that back in R9.5 or so, you could nudge keyframes with the arrow keys. “

    and you can still do that

    I am running R10.0 on OS X 10.56. I cannot do that, for sure. Thanks for any help once again.

    weird, it works with 10.5 and 11 on 10.56…. ….which Timeline?… It works in the Timeline Window and in the Animation layout but not the timeline in the Standard layout

    Hey Brian,

    I tried the animation layout and that didn’t work out either. I like to have my timeline on a separate monitor fullscreen. Doesn’t work there either. Must be that 10.0 is hosed in that respect. Here’s the post that I found earlier with bemoaning the same thing.

    Moving the play head and then keyframes is so bad. It would be totally ripper if the timeline worked the way AE does, or even close.

    Thanks,

    Robyn

    Works here in R11 but I can’t remember when the functionality was added.

    btw, you should do the free 10.1 update.

    to nudge keyframes back and fourth in the time line, you hold ALT + arrow keys.

    my mistake, thought this was after effects.
