Question about dotted line that appears under keyframe in timeline when time remapping

Hi,

When I add keyframes to a video clip for time remapping, this helpful dotted line appears in the timeline where the keyframes are. The problem is that my students do not see these lines under the keyframes and they would like to. How do I toggle it on and off? They can see keyframes in the timeline, but not with the dotted line. We are all working in Premiere 2025, but mine is a few versions older than theirs. I'm in 25.1 and they are 25.5 See screenshot for the line I'm speaking of. Thanks for your help.

Hi @good_reliability5033 - The dotted keyframes only appear if you right click the clip and ensure Show Clip Keyframes > Time Remapping > Speed is selected. Once you split the keyframes, the dotted line that normally appears will no longer be visible, which is the expected behavior.

As you can see by the screenshots, the clip is on Show Clip Keyframes (fat white line at the top)

Several keyframes have not been split

@good_reliability5033,

I'm Win 11 testing in PR 25.5.0. The dotted line appears for speed keyframes (and only speed keyframes?) and whether they are set in the timeline or the Effect Controls panel. And as soon as there is an adjustment, the dotted line is gone. And other than undo, I can't adjust the keyframes back to get the dotted line.

The keyframes are created with a 1 frame difference. If I fully zoom in, I see no difference between the initial keyframes (that have the dotted line) and keyframes moved back to one frame apart after they hav been moved (that do not have the dotted line).

@Ann Bens, You're the master of icons and operations: any idea how the students are not seeing this?

Right-click on the clip, scroll clear to the bottom of the options, probably need to 'twirl down' to get there, and check how the "show clip keyframes" motion or time remapping option is set or not. Compare your sequence and your student's sequences.

Everyone's mileage always varies ...
