Why we like it

Earns its place in the superhive library as a focused utility that reduces keyframe moving to a hotkey or menu action, with the option to scope the shift to all keys, selected objects, scene objects, or selected curves.

What is Quick Move Keyframes?

Quick Move Keyframes is a Blender add-on from Blender.Fun for repositioning keyframes during animation work. It moves all keyframes to the right or left from the current frame, so you can nudge timing without selecting and dragging keys by hand. The action runs from hotkeys or a menu.

The add-on works across the Graph Editor, Dope Sheet, and Timeline, letting you shift keyframes from whichever of those editors you are using. Before moving, you can set which keyframes are affected: all keyframes, the keys on selected objects, objects in the scene, or selected curves. That control lets you apply a shift across a whole scene or limit it to specific parts of an animation.

Quick Move Keyframes lists compatibility with Blender versions from 2.93 through 4.3 and is marked as Blender Extension compatible. It ships under the GPL license and includes documentation. The add-on has been published for about two years and appears in the superhive library.

Who is Quick Move Keyframes best for?

Quick Move Keyframes is best for blender animators who want to shift keyframes left or right from the current frame across the Graph Editor, Dope Sheet, and Timeline without selecting and moving keys manually.

Can I control which keyframes Quick Move Keyframes shifts?
