Can't delete a keyframe

[writerhoward]

I'm clicking in the Time Ruler for the keyframe I want to delete, which I assume is selecting it because the red vertical line moves to it. Then, I click the Delete button, but nothing happens. The keyframe's not deleted.

What am I doing wrong?

But the red line doesn't matter at all... You must select the keyframe/s that you want Delete in the same way you select any other thing, then the key/s become red and this show you they are selected ready to be deleted, copied or moved... If you can'd delete some of they (specialy point keyframes) maybe you should take an eye to this THIS thread... BYE!

Ah, so to delete a keyframe you have to select all the tiny circles under a frame number, but nothing in the Time Ruler changes. But why is it though I've deleted all the keyframe circles, a change I made wasn't undone. In the keyframe I had deleted I had changed the shape's color from blue to red. I expected that when I deleted the keyframe the shape would continue to be blue, but it's red. Why is that?

Hi Howard. You've got to understand that there are loads of different keyframe settings. If all settings were under one keyframe then animating would become a nightmare.
If you are key framing a shapes colour you need to select the correct line setting. To do this go to the settings tab in your time line and tick the ident with an ink drop. Then if you scroll down and find your new ink drop line you should find a keyframe. Delete this and then your shape should continue to stay blue!
By using the keyframe settings you can control eveything like shadows, colour fills, camera control, sahpe movement and tweening, trancparency etc etc.
