I'm trying to follow the manual:
"if you want to move an object to a different part of the screen but want to keep the animation of that object the same, you can select all the keyframes and translate them all at the same time. Select all the keyframes for that object and use the mouse to move the object to the new location. Then release the mouse button to complete the movement."
I am in that very scenario and have a tree growing up than, a few seconds later shrinking back.
I want that same animation but on a different part of the screen. What am I missing? Should I only select the translation keyframes? Should I be on frame 0?
Cause when I select all keyframes and move my shape to the new location, it just creates a new keyframe there and sends back my shape to the former position in before and after. It doesn't update the other translation keyframes as I hoped it would.

Re: Editing multiple keyframes
Nevermind, I got it I think. It was "relative keyframing". Manual could have been more explicit tho.
Re: Editing multiple keyframes
I have this issue and I tried relative keyframing for whatever that's worth. I checked it on then moved my object, this did not update the position in all the other key frames.
Re: Editing multiple keyframes
Use "relative keyframe". However, relative keyframe is usable only with some tools like "Transform Layer". I have never been able to use this feature with Camera, and Bone tools. As I remember in its old versions, relative keyframes work with Camera too.
To use "relative keyframe", you must first enable the option before selecting the keyframes. Then select all the keyframes of the "layer translation" that you want to change the position. Stay on a frame where the selected keyframe exists. It doesn't matter where you are on the timeline as long as your cursor is on a frame that has the keyframe selected. Then on the canvas, move your layer. After that unselect the keyframes, and disable the option.
