Manipulating keyframe selections

You can translate and scale entire regions, as well as single keyframes within a selection range.

You can also move visual keyframes on the FCurve timeline to move selected keyframes in that region only. This differs from moving visual keyframes on the Action timeline, which moves all the keyframes in that region.

NoteWhen you modify function curves, use the Undo (Ctrl-Z) and Redo (Ctrl-Y) options to cancel the last FCurve operation, such as a deleted keyframe, a change of interpolation, and so on. Redo repeats the last FCurve operation. You can set the default number of undo operations in the menu bar (Settings > Preferences > Undo).

The rest of this section describes methods for manipulating keyframe regions.

Offsetting keyframe selections

Drag the keyframe selection to a location on the FCurve timeline or in the FCurves pane. Any keyframes that are not selected within the region remain in place when the region moves.

To offset keyframes one frame at a time:

Drag the first Time display to a location or
Double-click the first Time value, enter the frame you want the keyframe to move to, and press Enter.
NoteTo drag a keyframe selection to specific frames, as opposed to between frames, use the options in the Snap menu. See Snap menu.

To stretch or shrink keyframe selections:

Drag the selection’s first or last keyframe.

To stretch the region one frame at a time:

Drag the second Time display to a location or double-click the second Time value.
Enter the frame where you want the region to move,
Press Enter.
