  • Move/slide layer without moving keyframes

    Sorry if someone has already answered this, I searched but couldn’t find anything. I could swear that I used to know a shortcut to move/slide a layer in the timeline without moving the keyframe position, but I can’t remember how to do this. Does anyone know?

    Thanks,
    Dan

    I don’t recall the proper AE terms and am not sure I correctly understand what you’re asking, but try this…

    Without any keyframes selected, put the cursor over the part of a layer that extends beyond the outpoint. When the cursor changes to a bracket-like cursor, slide that part of the layer in either direction and adjust the in/out points accordingly.

    FYI, you’re more likely to get answers to these kinds of questions at the AE Basics forum (the new Creative Calf).

    Yes, thanks, that’s what I’m talking about … however, I believe there is also a keyboard shortcut that does this that is sueful when there are no visible handles in your comp.
