Cutting, Copying, and Pasting Keyframes

You can cut, copy, and paste keyframes in the Timeline between channels of a similar type. For instance, you can copy the X Position keyframes for one layer and paste them into the X, Y, or Z Position channel for another layer.

To cut or copy keyframes from the Timeline:
  1. In the Workspace panel (or active viewport), select the layer that contains the keyframes you want to cut or copy.
  2. Click the Timeline tab.
  3. In the Timeline, expand the category with the keyframes you want to cut or copy, then select the channel.
  4. All the keyframes for that channel are selected.

  5. To cut or copy only certain keyframes, select those keyframes. The other keyframes are automatically deselected.
  6. To cut the keyframes, choose Edit | Cut, or press Ctrl+X (Windows) or Command+X (Macintosh).
  7. To copy the keyframes, choose Edit | Copy, or press Ctrl+C (Windows) or Command+C (Macintosh).
To paste keyframes into a channel:
  1. Cut or copy keyframes as described in the preceding steps.
  2. Navigate to the channel to which you want to paste the keyframes and click the channel to select it.
  3. Position the Timeline cursor where you want the first keyframe to be pasted.
  4. Choose Edit | Paste, or press Ctrl+V (Windows) or Command+V (Macintosh).
  5. The keyframes are pasted into the selected channel starting at the location of the Timeline cursor.
