    ok this is probably really simple, but I cant seem to figure it out. If I have animated the postion of a layer (for this example, lets say in a circle) but then later I decide i want it to move in that circle, but lower down on the compostion. Is there a way to drag the object and position it without creating a new keyframe, but adjusting all the keyframes in the animation to that new position? I have done this before, so I believe it is possible, I just dont know what I did the time it worked and now I cant seem to do it again. Any help would be appreciated.

    The way I do it is to select all your keyframes in the timeline. Then up in the comp window click and drag on one of the keyframe points (denoted by a dark X). This should move all of your keyframes. If there’s an easier or precise way of doing this I’d like to know.

    If you are still up for it, there is one more way to do this.
    Simply create a null object in the timeline then parent the layer(with keyframes)
    to the null and move the position properties of the null to desired. This way,
    you can still have the original layer in the comp and keep your keyframes of the
    layer at the original place.
