Andrew,

Thank you for the response.

I'm at a loss, regarding the ● being greyed out for the Add Keyframe aspect. I have the ◄ and the ► (if the CTI is within two existing Keyframes, but never the ●. That is what I seem to be missing, and on two different installations. Maybe I'm gripping the mouse too tightly? [Grin] Glad to know that it SHOULD work, like PrPro and other Keyframing programs. Now, to make it work for me.

I now see what the manual and F1 are talking about with regards to Alt-Shift+. Got it!

Regardless of what I am doing wrong, or my settings don't allow, with regards to the ●, I now have a way to do what I want. Hey, a minor DUH! moment.

I've also used Ctrl-c & Ctrl-v on groups of existing Keyframes, and that has worked perfectly. I do have to go back and alter some of the various parameters, but that is to be expected. Still, I can get 90% of the necessary data, plus the Keyframes, so there is much less work.

Hope to explore Expressions, later, when this Project is off the machine, as they look like they'd save a bunch of time and keystrokes with the type of stuff that I'm doing. As I'm still learning much about AE, I'll get to that "lesson" later.

You have given me two invaluable answers. One is to troubleshoot why the ● is not active and the other is a method to add the necessary Keyframe, where I need it. Thanks.

Hunt
