Copy and paste keys

Important

Pay attention to the order that select keys with multiple animation curves with multiple attributes copy and paste them, as this affects the order in which they are pasted.
When copying keys from multiple attributes in the Graph Editor or Dope Sheet, select the attributes from the Outliner—not the View area—of the respective editor.

Before copying and pasting keys, select Key > Copy > to set the Copy Keys Options you want. To set Paste Keys options, select Key > Paste > .

In the Paste Key Options window, do one of the following:

Click Paste Keys to set the Paste Keys options and paste the current cut or copied key(s). The Paste Keys Options window closes.
Click Apply to set the Paste Keys options and paste the current cut or copied key(s). The Paste Keys Options window remains open.
Click Close to disregard any changes made to the Paste Keys options and close the Paste Keys Options window.
