Easy Selection of All Elements On A Timeline for Moving Them
May 18, 2012
Is there a simple way to select all the objects on a timeline so I can nudge them forward or backwards on the timeline a second or so? So far, I can't find a simple way.
I can select them all individually on the timeline with CTRL-click and, then with them all selected, use the left or right arrow to move things a second forward or back at a time. But if you have many, many objects on the timeline, that's a lot of CTRL-clicks.
If you do CTRL-A to select all the objects, and then use the arrow keys, that only works moves the objects on the canvas and I don't want to move them there--just on the timeline.
Can't figure out a CTRL-A method that only works for objects on the timeline . . .

Hi Gerry! See if this works for ya: In the timeline, select the topmost object, then scroll to the bottom of your list of timeline objects and, while holding down your Shift key, select the last object in the list. This should select everything on the timeline.
Gerry,
To nudge all objects forward/backward in time by 1 second increments, first select/click the Timeline Tab then use the right or left keyboard keys respectively. This can be done for one or all objects selected.
Note: It might be necessary to select the ALT key after selecting the Timeline Tab, before the nudge will work.
I hope this helps!
Thanks, Guys! Works great.
