Copying & pasting keyframes, but NOT their easing/velocity?

Hey,

I was just wondering is there a way to copy and paste the values of one keyframe over to another keyframe WITHOUT actually affecting the custom easing/velocity I've applied to the inheriting keyframe? As of right now I'm aware I can select two keyframes and update their values to be identical by typing in the new value. But later down the track if I realise there's a keyframe which should have the same values as an earlier keyframe, copying/pasting the keyframe is the easiest way to go but replaces any custom easing I may have applied. The alternative is to go back, find the exact values for the property then type those exact values into the keyframe I want. This is a pain especially for properties with more than one value (e.g. position). Is there some sort of dialogue option I'm missing where I can copy JUST the values at a given time?

Thanks

Thanks Roei.

Shame to see it's a paid addon but it's exactly what I was after, so much appreciated!

It's technically name-your-own-price, but good tools are worth the money in time saved.

    Copying a keyframe or multiple keyframes copies all attributes. There is no way around that.

    Pasting keyframes then while they are all still selected clicking on any one of them with the Ctrl/Cmnd key held down will clear all velocity information.

    To remove spatial information on things like position keyframes (curves in the path) with all keyframes selected press G to select the pen tool then hold down the Alt/Option key to bring up the convert path tool (open sideways v) and click on any path vertex and all curved paths will become straight paths.

    To see position paths for effect position properties you can open the layer with the effect in the Layer Panel and choose the position property of the effect in the lower right corner of the layer panel. This also applies to anchor point paths. You see and edit those position paths in the Layer Panel. The same Alt/Option + Convert point tool works to straighten out curved motion paths.
