- Select Keyframes. Select a keyframe sequence by making a box around your desired keyframes.

How does time stretching work in Adobe Photoshop?
Holds the layer at the position of the current-time indicator (also the frame displayed in the Composition panel), and time-stretches the layer by moving the In and Out points. Holds the ending time of the layer at its current value and time-stretches the layer by moving its In point.
What happens when you time stretch and time remap a layer?
Frame blending When you time-stretch or time-remap a layer to a slower frame rate or to a rate lower than the frame rate of its composition, movement can appear jerky. This jerky appearance results because the layer now has fewer frames per second than the composition.
How are time remap keyframes represented in after effects?
Each Time Remap keyframe has a time value associated with it that corresponds to a specific frame in the layer; this value is represented vertically on the Time Remap value graph. When you enable time remapping for a layer, After Effects adds a Time Remap keyframe at the start and end points of the layer.
What happens when you reverse the direction of a layer?
When you reverse the direction at which a layer plays back, all keyframes for all properties on the selected layer also reverse order. The layer itself maintains its original In and Out points relative to the composition. Note: For best results, precompose the layer and then reverse the layer inside the precomposition.
