  • How to force every frame to have a keyframe?

    Dear Creative Cow,

    I want every frame of my comp to have a keyframe. I don’t want to rely on interpolation. Is there a way to force every frame to have a keyframe? (position, rotation, and scale)

    Thank you!

    You could “alt + click” on each property to create an expression and press enter to set the expression to it’s default. Then go to Animation -> Keyframe Assistant -> Convert Expression to Keyframes and that would generate an keyframe for every frame of your composition.

    Thanks Dave. I understand the danger of working with too many keyframes. In this case I need each frame to be keyframed for a very specific purpose.
