If more than one keyframe is at the same point in time, the shortcut menu lists all of them. 3 Drag the keyframe until it lines up with the edge of the object. If you press the Shift key while you drag, the keyframe snaps to the edges of other objects. You can use this same technique to align keyframes from one object to keyframes in another object. In this way, you can arrange two objects to both fade in or blur into focus at exactly the same frame. It doesn't matter whether the objects are in the same layer or not. To align keyframes across objects: 1 Click the Show/Hide Keyframes button in the Timeline. 2 Identify the keyframe you want to move. 3 Find the object containing the parallel action. 4 Drag the keyframe in the first object until it lines up with the corresponding keyframe in the second object. Aligning Keyframes to Markers Other objects in your Timeline can also serve as guides for where to move your keyframes. For example, you may have a music cue or line of narration where you want a particular effect to end or change. Chapter 6 Keyframes and Curves 421 One great way to do this is to use time markers. Simply identify the important frame with a marker and drag the keyframe until it lines up with the marker. Markers create snap points, so pressing Shift while you drag a keyframe makes it snap to markers. To learn more about setting markers, see "Adding Markers" on page 312. To align a keyframe with a marker: 1 Click the Show/Hide Keyframes button in the Timeline. 2 Identify the keyframe you want to move and drag it to the marker. 3 Press the Shift key while you drag to enable snapping. Deleting Keyframes in the Timeline If you ever need to remove a keyframe, or clear all keyframes from a particular object, you can delete keyframes using the shortcut menu in the Timeline. To delete a keyframe in the Timeline: 1 Click the Show/Hide Keyframes button in the Timeline. 2 Control-click the keyframe you want to delete, then choose Delete Keyframe from the shortcut menu. To delete all keyframes from an object: 1 Click the Show/Hide Keyframes button in the Timeline.

If you press Control+Shift and draw the play forward gesture, the project plays from the start of the project. The Motion Gestures The following tables describe the available Motion gestures and their modifier keys, where applicable. Note: There is no defined minimum or maximum scale for the gestural input.
