How to Move Keyframes in the Graph Editor in Maya?

To move keyframes in the Graph Editor in Maya, select the keyframe(s) you want to move and drag them along the timeline.

Here's a breakdown of the process:

1. Open the Graph Editor: Go to Window > Animation Editors > Graph Editor.

2. Select the Curves: In the Graph Editor, you will see curves representing the animation of your selected object's attributes. Locate and select the curve associated with the keyframes you want to adjust.

3. Select the Keyframes:

   • Single Keyframe: Click on the keyframe you want to move. It will usually highlight when selected.
   • Multiple Keyframes:
     • Drag Selection: Click and drag a box around the keyframes you want to select.
     • Shift-Click: Hold down the Shift key and click on each keyframe you want to add to the selection.

4. Move the Keyframes:

   • Time Shift: Click and drag the selected keyframe(s) horizontally along the timeline to change their timing. Moving them to the left makes the animation faster, and moving them to the right makes it slower.
   • Value Adjustment: Click and drag the selected keyframe(s) vertically to adjust their value (e.g., the object's position, rotation, or scale at that point in time).

5. Playback and Refine: Play back your animation to see the effect of the keyframe adjustments. Continue tweaking the keyframes until you achieve the desired result.

By manipulating keyframes in the Graph Editor, you can precisely control the timing and values of your animation in Maya.
