Is there a way to make the time indicator move to a keyframe when I select a keyframe?

Hi!

Is there a way to make the time indicator move to a keyframe when I select a keyframe?

I find it really annoying having to move the time indicator all the time to modify a keyframe. (In Flash, you would just click on a keyframe in order to modify it...)

In other words, I would like to modify keyframes by just selecting them!

Thanks!

You can't do what you want.  You have to have the timeline cursor on the keyframe you want to modify.  That's just how AE works.  You have to get used to it.

You have to have the timeline cursor on the keyframe you want to modify.

In this case, it would be pretty handy to have a way to make the time indicator automatically move to a selected keyframe.

In addition to double-clicking a keyframe to edit it, you can use J and K for jump to previous keyframe and jump to next keyframe.

Indeed, but I really don't find this method practical because it snaps to every single keyframe of every layer...

Thanks!

But if you select one layer it must jump between the keyframes of the selected layer

You can always double click a keyframe to edit it's values.
