– To select multiple contiguous keyframes: Click the first keyframe you want to select, and then
shift-click the last keyframe you want to select, and all keyframes between will also be selected, or
drag a bounding box within the Curve Editor around multiple keyframes to select them all at once.
– To select all keyframes: If the Keyframe Editor is open and it has focus (by clicking anywhere
within it), then pressing Command-A will select all keyframes within that Keyframe Editor.
Methods of adjusting keyframes in the Curve Editor of the Edit page:
– To drag one or more keyframes freely on a curve: Select one or more keyframes and drag left or
right to retime them, and up or down to change their value.
– To drag one or more keyframes on a curve in only one direction: Select one or more keyframes,
then hold the Shift key while dragging either vertically or horizontally to constrain keyframe
adjustment within that single direction.
– To nudge selected keyframes one value or frame at a time: Select one or more keyframes and
Command-Left Arrow and Command-Right Arrow to nudge them in time, or Command-Up Arrow
and Command-Down Arrow to nudge their value, for precision keyframe adjustments.
Methods of changing keyframe interpolation/easing/smoothing:
– To change the interpolation of a single keyframe: There are two methods. You can select the
keyframes you want to change, and then click one of the four Bezier interpolation buttons in the
Curve Editor title bar. Or, you can right-click one of the selected keyframes and choose one of
the interpolation options from the contextual menu. Keyframes that have already been eased in
the Keyframe Editor or via controls in the Inspector already have bezier handles exposed in the
Curve Editor.
– To change the interpolation of multiple keyframes: Select multiple keyframes by Command-
clicking or dragging a bounding box, and then click one of the four Bezier interpolation buttons in
the Curve Editor title bar to simultaneously change the interpolation of all of them.
– To adjust a Bezier handle: Drag the Bezier handle in any direction to alter the curve.

Methods of Cutting, Copying, Pasting, and Deleting keyframes:
– To cut or copy, and paste one or more keyframes: Make a selection of keyframes and use the Cut
(Command-X) or Copy (Command-C) key shortcuts. Then, move the playhead to where you want
the first of the copied keyframes to start, and press Paste (Command-V).
– To delete one or more control points from a curve: Select the keyframe(s) you want to delete and
press Backspace.
