Move multiple keyframes via a control?

[Kalleheikki Kannisto]

As I see it that is practically the same as time remapping, so that might be the more straightforward solution.

I don’t think that would work, given that some of the proposed layers are footage.

Sorry – new parameters i know ????

Thanks though.

Hi Dave,

Thanks for the input.

This is actually the thing I’m looking to work to avoiding. ☺

Cheers though,

Next idea: Time Remap every layer you want to do this with. Use one layer to set the time, pick-whip time value of that one layer for the rest. That way you can choose which layers will be affected, which won’t, skipping your footage layers, for instance.

If you’re not already using expressions on your properties, you could do this:

1. Create a new null, name it “RETIMER”

2. Add a Slider Effect, name it “time”

3. Add two keyframes for time: one “0” keyframe at the beginning, and one “10” keyframe 10 seconds in. (Replace that last keyframe with whatever timescale is appropriate for you, but be sure to use a value in seconds.)

4. Add this expression to every property that you want to be affected by the global retimer:
valueAtTime(thisComp.layer("RETIMER").effect("time")("Slider"));

5. Animate the value of the “time” slider as you like.

Voila, time remapping on select property values only.

Not exactly what you’re asking for, but there is a very handy script called Rift that lets you easily shift keyframes, layer inpoints, etc. https://aescripts.com/rift/

Premiere Pro has a feature called responsive design time that sounds a bit similar. If you look into it and it sounds like it might be what you want, I believe there’s a feature request to add it to AE at the Adobe After Effects uservoice you can upvote. ☺

Hi folks,

I’ve been out the loop for a few days, but just wanted to pop by and say thanks for all the suggestions – I’ll take a look into them.

Cheers,
