1. Re: Copy Keyframes from Spreadsheet AE CS5.5
Rick Gerard Aug 27, 2013 1:31 PM (in response to texber2012)Keyframes are just coma separated. You are going to be better off using a plain text editor. Excel is going to throw in a bunch of unnecessary code.

3. Re: Copy Keyframes from Spreadsheet AE CS5.5
Rick Gerard Aug 27, 2013 9:17 PM (in response to texber2012)You should use a plain text editor.
I forgot to mention that bezier information is not translated outside of AE. You'll end up with straight lines between points. If that's what you are seeing then that is normal. The copied keyframe data should look like the top of this exampls (invisibles showing) not like the bottom example (pasted from a word processor)
Once again, don't expect curved paths or easing to be reproduced or edited. These values do not leave AE. I don't know where they are hidden, but when the clipboard data is sent to another app all interpolation between keyframes is lost.

But then again, Word is not a "text editor"... Use Textpad, BBEdit or even your system's own Editor application.

5. Re: Copy Keyframes from Spreadsheet AE CS5.5
texber2012 Aug 28, 2013 12:49 PM (in response to Mylenium)Using Excel to edit keyframes does work after all. Previously I tried to paste the revised data only, but one must paste the revised data and all the other information copied initially. Please see Adobe (tutorial I think) "After Effects/Editing. moving, and copying keyframes."
I did not know that Word was not a text editor.
Thanks for all the help.
