Move an animation path

Post by Greenlaw »

I was wondering if there was a way to select a whole animation path for a layer (or any item for that matter) and reposition the path as a unit. I know I can group a layer or layers and reposition them as a group that way, but at the moment I need to do this directly to a layer.

I could swear I've seen this done in a tutorial video but can't remember which one.

Thanks for any helpful info.

Try using the relative keyframing checkbox at the top of the timeline window.

Thank you!

That sounds like what I saw in the video and it's going to help me a lot this afternoon. :)

Here's the video I was trying to remember, in case anybody else needs to do this:

Relative keyframing is discussed at around 3:28.

One thing that threw me off is that the visual feedback for the whole path is delayed until you release the mouse. If you didn't know that, it looks like you're only moving a single keyframe. Just something to be aware of.
