How do you delete TRACK keyframes in bulk?

Maybe I'm missing something, but I cannot lasso or highlight all keyframes of a track in a timeline.

Unlike clip keyframes, in which you can select and delete them all via the effect control window, in order to delete track keyframes in CS6, it appears one must manually select every single keyframe individually.  AAAARGH! Even though you can "lasso" or drag a "selection" around things on the track timeline, it will NOT select groups of track keyframes you lasso.

I've checked the CS6 documentation, and still see no way to do this...even though it mentions being able to click outside the clip and drag a selection.

Try it.

1. create timeline

2. set audio mixer channel 1 to "write"

3. hit play and go crazy with your channel 1 mixer slider

4. hit stop

5. change option on Audio 1 on timeline so that you can "show track keyframes"

6. see all those pretty keyframes?...now try to delete them all at once without deleting your audio/video clip...

Any questions?

There is no reason why, in a professional application such as this, you shouldn't be able to select multiple keyframes and delete them. Feature request? Or am I missing something.

NOTE: I'm talking about TRACK automation keyframes not CLIP keyframes.

...or you could just use the pen tool to lasso and remove Track Keyframes...

it works for me:

#pen tool (p) lasso them cattle in, hit delete and wait a second (depending on your machine),

hit Pos1, play, all good

I have yet to find a way to Delete Audio Track Keyframes, but when I needed to do it, I just lassoed the Audio Clips, and dragged them to a blank Audio Track (of the same channel-count). There will be no Track Keyframes there. Then, I have just Deleted that Audio Track, the one with the Keyframes. Not so neat, but it has worked for me.

Good luck,

Hunt

Have 1 audio clip that is at the level you want the others to be.  Select that clip and Copy it.  Select the other keyframed clips you want to delete keyframes from and use Paste Attributes to change the volume en mass.

to remove all keyframes from a clip in premiere pro CC 2014, right-click over the clip that has your keyframes. Select 'Remove Effects'. Uncheck everything except for Volume. You'll notice it says 'Remove parameters and reset keyframes'. Hit OK and you're done...all keyframes deleted and volume is reset back to neutral.

If you have several clips back to back, then drag-select all the clips (or Shift+click all of them) and do the same thing: right-click>Remove Effects>Volume. Done

Thank you someg47547554,

That just solved a problem for me!  In CC2015, after right click you now choose "remove attributes"

Am just learning about keyframes in Premiere. I spent over an hour trying to figure out how to select multiple keyframes. This information was very useful.

Thank you!
