keyframe stretch
Greetings from central Ohio!
Say you have a comp that’s 5 seconds long with a solid that has several keyframes attached to it — well, if I wanted to change the length of the comp to 10 seconds and stretch my solid out to 10 seconds too, how do I stretch the keyframes to span 10 secs instead of 5 secs? Question make sense?
Seems very basic, but can’t seem to find an answer anywhere.
thanks,
Craig -

1. convert the middle/intermediate keyframes to ROVING
2. stretch out the last keyframe
3. then set them back to normal keyframes -
Change the interpolation of the keyframe to “roving over time”. Then when you drag the last keyframe it will adjust the others to evenly space themselve out.

Hi,
After you’ve stretched out your layer, marquee select all the keyframes in your timeline and then, holding down the option key (on a mac) (I guess it’s the alt key on windows) click and drag one of the last keyframes and pull it out to the end of your layer.
All the keyframes should expand out proportionately.
Hope this helps,
Lars

I’d suggest you go see Aharon’s Roving Keyframes tutorial on that.
Strongly recommended.

Yes, that was what I was looking for; just finished watching Aharon’s tutorial and it thoroughly answered my question (probably yours too Dave!) — I’ve been hitting a lot of Aharon’s tutorials as of late and completely overlooked that one – thanks Justin!
I’m still using AE 6.5 for now, but am looking forward to the sticky windows that 7.0 offers — I’ve always wanted to be able to look at my comp at percentages other than 25%, 50, 100, 200, 400….

if you’re not working with spatial keyframes then you need to select them all then hold down the alt/option key and drag from either end. I sometines also do this with position keyframes because roving is not always what I want.

Sam.mltn, an even easier solution to the problem; thanks! Yes, I could see why you wouldn’t always want roving keyframes, especially if you’re just extending an effect.
