Layer has no keyframe at zero, they moved and won't go back

I've got a vector layer that has a simple shape in it. Somehow the origin keyframes have moved six frames out. I can't get them back.

Is there a way to reset a keyfram back to zero?

copy and paste keyframes could fix it.

are you sure you created the layer at frame zero?
are you sure you draw the shape in frame zero?

remeber the layer will be visible since the frame in which you created it. the same happens with shapes.

yeah i think i was accidentally at frame 6 when it was made.

is there anyway to get that back to frame 0?

or can i remove frames 1 through 5 of everything (just static shapes waiting to be animated) to catch up to frame 6?

you can select the keyframes you want in frame 6, go to frame zero, copy, paste and then delete the keyframes in frame 6 (using the buttoms of timeline).

another option is, being at frame 6, go up to
Animation>Copy current frame...
then select Copy entire document, to the frame zero.
(remember after you must delete the keyframes in frame 6 too)

That is not very cool to write. I'm sure you meant to use the irony emoticon (

Anyways, always backup your project if you're not sure it will survive your manipulations, e.g. by saving it under a different name, like "bu_project.anme". You can always delete it afterwards. Better safe than sorry.

maybe it was a cool irony... or maybe is a new way to use emoticons, maybe now emoticons, as words, have a lot of semantic contents

thank you for the sanity check.

Selgin and I have traded a few pm's on some issues. I think if he found my choice of emoticon distasteful he would've said something.

As a precautionary measure I shall now include a footnoted annotation of all my graphically represented post-related emotions

Handbags at dawn? heh, i like that.

Seriously though, (i wasn't actually going to blame him).
