Cut keys

 
 
 

Cutting a keyset is essentially the same as copying keys to the keys clipboard then deleting them.

Note
  • When cutting and pasting keys that include multiple animation curves to multiple attributes, pay particular attention to the order that you select them, as this will impact the order in which they are pasted.
  • When cutting keys from multiple attributes in the Graph Editor or Dope Sheet, select the attributes from the outliner—not the view area—of the respective editor.

To cut keys

  1. Set the Cut Keys options. See Set Cut Keys options.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • To select a single key, click the key in the Time Slider.

    The Current Time Indicator moves to the clicked position and the key is now selected.

    • To select multiple keys, -drag over the range of keys in the Time Slider.

    The range of keys is now selected and highlighted in red.

  3. Do one of the following:

    If Time Range-All is on in the Cut Keys options, all keys for the current object are cut. If Time Range-Start/End is on in the Cut Key options, only keys between the specified Start and End time are cut. If Time Range-Time Slider is on in the Cut Keys options, only the keys between the Range Slider’s Start and End times are cut.

    • Press +s- and select Cut Keys from the marking menu that appears.
