How to edit scale across multiple keyframes
Posted by Spencer Tycksen on January 27, 2012 at 4:54 pmI am needing to resize an object that I got tied to a motion tracker on a separate layer. I was hoping to simply highlight all the scale keyframes, and adjust them down 20%, but that only adjusts the keyframe at the CTI. Is there a way to change the scale of many individual key frames (which vary in scale) and edit them down a certain percentage?

You could create a null object, parent your layer to the null, and scale down the null.

January 27, 2012 at 5:31 pmAlternately, you could use an expression.
Alt-Click the Scale stopwatch, and copy and paste the following:
value * 0.8This will adjust all the scale values to 80% of their keyframed value. Adjust that 0.8 number as necessary.

January 28, 2012 at 3:23 amWalter’s given you a couple of good options. However, you should be able to change all the KF values if you –
(1) select all the KFs
(2) park the CTI on any one of the KFs
(3) scrub the value downwards by 20% or 80% of its original valueHTH

December 12, 2013 at 2:36 pmThis is easy…
1. Select all keyframes
2. Layer>Time>”Time Stretch”
3. Enter Stretch Factor % ie:If you want to scale to twice as long = 200%
4. Hit OK
5. Done!razzi
