Hi, I want to ask how to select only some keyframes in all layers to remove them without selecting the layers.. I'm so frustated to deselect the layer one by one to only select the keyframes I want to remove so I'll not delete the layers..

If you have a bunch of layers and properties selected using Shift or Ctrl/Cmnd + select, and they all have keyframes, you can delete them all by just clicking the little diamond in the center of the Keys column in the timeline. You can also drag a selection around keyframes in the timeline and just press Delete. The search field in the timeline can help you isolate properties to make this easier.

By the way. You don't have selected layers. This might be helpful

-Not selected - it explains itself

-"Highlighted" - something inside the layers is selected ( like a keyframe for example )

-Selected - You selected the layer. Congratulations 🙂

Why not simply click directly on the keyframes using the Ctrl key modifier?
