Hi,

I have been looking around the site and have not found a solution to this but was kind of hoping the latest version of media composer could handle this....

Really, there must be a way of moving multiple audio keyframes horizontally along the timeline. It works fine on single keyframes by holding ALT (PC) but just not on groups of keyframes. 

If anyone could shed some light on this or explain how Avid editors get around this restriction with their workflow I would be most grateful.

Somehow I can't see an advanced user on a high-end production sitting there manually moving every keyframe on an audio track one at a time, surely....!

Thanks

Spencer

You're going to hate me for this...I just managed to do this and I don't know what I pressed to get it working! 

Try marking In and Out across the keyframes you want to move.  Then hold to Alt and Ctrl and start dragging.  I'll try again and see if I can repeat this.  Marking In and out works to shirft groups of keyframes up and down...should work somehow to move left and right too.

 No.  Believe it or not, Avid apparetently never realized that editors would want to move more than one audio keyframe at a time.  Wish list material, at least in versions up to and including v2.8.4.  I can't speak for v3.x.

 Then either my system is going haywire or I'm seeing things...I'm sure I just did that.  It was a combination of Alt and Ctrl and draging between In and out points...I just stabbed at key combinations and it worked suddenly.  I'm on MC 3.0.  Anyone else maybe? Btw I've always just dragged single keyframes myself.

 Yeah, like I said, I'm still on v2.8.4 and no common combination of keys will move multiple keyframes.

It will be great if it's new MC3, though (And maybe prove that I'm not going crazy .  Any way someone from Avid can chime in?  Any of the moderators?

 Yes, Im sure when looking through the posts I have heard other people say that they are sure they have done it but cannot remember how...Ill try some key combos and see if the magic works for me.

Can anyone else add anything about this....?

 Is there no mileage in treating the keyframes as an effect..? Im no expert with Avid but when you try to delete an audio track with keyframes in segment mode it first deletes the keyframes then the track so surely avid is treating the gain adjustment as some sort of layered effect...just a thought anyhow..

 Sorry guys, CTRL + ALT dragging a region doesn't work in either MC 2.7.7 or NC 6.7.7. An attempt to ALT drag just put the system into splice in edit mode and highlighted the clip I was trying to move keyframes in.

Hi,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but I just tried to move multiple audio keyframes on MC 3.0, and no amount of in and out points, or ALT, CTRL or SHIFT clicking would move more than one audio keyframe.

I'm not saying it didn't happen on your machine, Corne, but if you could figure out exactly what you did I'll try and replicate it.

good luck,
Carl

 Wish I knew Carl, but thanks for checking it out.  For all I know I might gone into segment mode somehow with all my clicking away like a mad person, and moved the whole clip...dont know.  I'll try again some time.  Sorry to get everybody's hopes up.
