Then click on the cut button at the top of the Animation window:
Next to the 'cut' button there are buttons for Copy and Paste, with these you can copy the
selected keyframe, move the Time cursor to another place and paste a new keyframe there. The
last button of these four reverses the complete animation. Very useful in most cases when you
animate an object off by simply copy/pase its animation then reverse it.
A basic question has not yet mentioned: how to create a new keyframe? There are two methods
you can choose from:
1. For properties that are more frequently animated like the common properties of objects,
there small grey round buttons next to the control you use to adjust their values:
By simply double clicking on this button, you can place a keyframe at the current time with the
value currently set in the control (in the case of Translate X above, a numeric control).
The current time is the time point where you set the time cursor, the red vertical line in the
animation window. There are several methods for choosing the necessary point in time:
● Clicking on the time scale at the bottom of the Animation window. The time cursor will
immediately move there.
● Dragging the time cursor by clicking and moving the mouse in the time scale panel. The
current time value will always reflect the current time during the drag operation.
● Quite often you need to set keyframes to the same time where some parameters already
have keyframes set. By clicking on any of the gray spots, the time cursor immediately
moves to the time point of the keyframe represented by that gray spot. You will probably
find that this feature is a great time saver.
