Dope Sheet moving keys leaves some behind

Post by enthewhite » 04 Sep 2012, 16:40

Can anybody please tell me why, whenever I try to select a bunch of keys in the dopesheet and move them to a new frame, some of them are left behind in the original frame?

I'm assuming it must be some simple lock or switch somewhere, but I have no idea where. Thanks for any tips!

Are you grabbing the keys from the very top portion of the dope sheet?

It seems to happen regardless of where I grab them from. I'll drag a window around all of them and move them, or I'll grab the top "key" which grabs all of them, but still happens. And it has only happened to me on a particular scene that had some (relatively) complicated animation. I was able to get what I needed done, I just thought somebody here might have seen that happen before.

I haven't seen that myself except maybe some fcruves that may be used as driven keys (link with). What parameters are they on?

Thank you Eric! You helped me to figure it out. In the curve editor, I had the keys locked in X (time) so when I tried dragging them in the Dope sheet, they stayed locked on their current frame.
