Move Keys options

• In the Graph Editor or Dope Sheet Editor, select Edit > Transformation Tools > Move Keys Tool to manipulate groups of keys (proportionally or in relation to a selected key).

Note: The Move Tool’s Move Keys options are only available when the Graph Editor or Dope Sheet are the active window. To give focus to the Graph Editor or Dope Sheet Editor Move Key options, click the Graph Editor or Dope Sheet Editorwindow.

Tip: To move a key one frame at a time, press Shift + 9 to move it left, and Shift + 0 to move it right.

To disable the single-click editing workflow in the Graph Editor

Note: This option is not available for the Dope Sheet Editor.
1. In the Animation (Settings) preferences, turn off Left-dragging moves selected keys.
2. On the Graph Editor toolbar, click Move Nearest Picked Key Tool to explicitly move keys using the middle mouse button.

Note:

• The Move Nearest Picked Key Tool is available in the Graph Editor Toolbar and from the Transformation Tools in the Dope Sheet Edit menu.
• You can also set whether the Graph Editor Move Keys Tools Exponential falloff settings apply to moving and rotating keys instead of only to key translation (the default), using the Use Constant Falloff except for Move and Scale option in the Animation (Settings) preferences.

Move option

Select from the following:

• Move Only

  disables the tool's ability to sweep throughout a curve's keys (see Move Over).
  

  Graph Editor and Dope Sheet Move Only option

• Move Over

  lets the tool sweep through an active curve along the curve's keys. This expedites the fine-tuning of animation curves. This setting is the default.
  

  Graph Editor and Dope Sheet Move Over option

• Ripple pushes keys after the selection by the same amount as the move so that keys adjust to stay in sync.

Move falloff

Note: Move falloff is available only with the Graph Editor Move options.

Set one of the following options:

• Constant

  moves all keys the same amount in the direction you drag.
  

• Linear

  moves all keys based on the distance they are from the mouse down location. The amount a key moves decreases linearly as its distance from the mouse down location increases.
  

• Exponential

  moves all keys based on the distance-squared they are from the mouse down location. The amount a key moves decreases exponentially as its distance from the mouse down location increases.
