After Effects Fundamentals - Adjusting X or Y Positions of Multiple Objects with Multiple Keyframes


  • When dealing with complicated scenes, it is important in knowing how to adjust the x or y positions of multiple objects without altering their animations
  • For example, if a layer has 5 keyframes, and you are looking to adjust 3 of those 5 to have the the same value of 174.00, you can click+drag across those keyframes and adjust either in the comp window or enter you values in the x, y, or, z position boxes listed in your layer's properties. However, this adjustment must be made when time marker is on any of the selected keyframes; if this adjustment is not made on any selected keyframe, your animation will automatically add a new keyframe to the mix causing the animation to change from what it originally was.*
*if these keyframes are separated from each other---- i.e., they are not keyframes in a sequence, you can click+drag them, in addition to, ctrl+click+dragging to increase selection)
