Question

Moving an animation

In Photoshop CC6 how can you move a whole animation ?

In other words how can one move all keyframes of a given layer all together from a spatial context (not a time context).

For the sake of an example let's say you have a layer representing a ball with 3 keyframes at
time-positions (seconds-x,y) (0-0,10 ; 1-0,20 ; 2-0 :40)

I need to move the hole animation by let's say 50 pix in the Y direction. I would end up with
time-positions (0-0,60 ; 1-0,70 ; 2-0 :90)

How can I achieve this.

Thanks

Click on the Property name in the Timeline to select both keyframe. Make sure that the Timemarker is parked on a keyframe. Then Select the Move tool and drag the element to where you want it to be on that keyframe. With bother KFs selected, they will move as a group.

hope this helps,

You can also use the Properties panel to adjust the value. As long as all of the KFs are selected and you are parked on a KF. Just type in the value that you want at that particular KF and all should move by a relative amount.

I forgot to mention that I am trying to do this on a Smart Object layer.
Your solution seems to work on a standard layer but not on Smart object layer.

Any ideas ?
