Shifting a keyframe

[redefinery]

Is there an easy way to shift a keyframe to a different time by just specifying a different time value for it? It seems like you have to remember the key's various settings, delete the key, add the key at the new time, and reapply the settings.

Thanks,
Jeff

I think you're right, it isn't possible to shift a keyframe to another time. You might find some useful info in the last post of this topic on markers http://www.aenhancers.com/viewtopic.php?t=71 which are treated in pretty much the same way as keyframes. And I guess you'll also have to use the KeyframeEase method to store and reapply the speed/influence settings.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for the pointer. I already have marker shifting in my script -- those were easy . It's the non-marker keyframes that are more work because of the interp type, ease, tangent, spatial/temporal, roving, and other (?) settings that makes things cumbersome, especially if some of the settings apply only to certain types of properties (1d, 2d, etc.).

This is the point in a topic where I often post Adobe's feature request page. http://www.adobe.com/support/feature.html There won't be many people asking for these scripting features but it's always worth a go.

Yeah, it's always worth a shot. I already logged it as a request a couple of days ago.
