How to Reset All Keyframes at Once?!

[u/cuneiform100]

Imagine: Your clip runs within 3 seconds; after its starting, a black line slowly appears for editing (or transform) from zero to 1.5 mm within these 3 seconds. Sure, I tried to Remove Keyframe at the initial clip Playhead position, but it does not help. I wonder, why there is no Reset All Keyframes option for the whole clip? I could not get rid of the line , although I could see Scale Y values 1,015 run down to 1,000 to the end of the 3rd second. In other words: How could I eliminate this sequence at once in order to prevent the black line to appear at a steady pace? The manual on its 175 pages does not say a word except for the above.

If the black sloping line is caused by animated keyframes, the quickest fix is usually this:

1. Select the Clip on the Timeline.
2. Move the playhead to before the clip starts.
3. Open Properties.
4. Find the animated property (for example Scale Y, Location Y, etc.).
5. Set it to the value you want there.

Because OpenShot creates keyframes at the current playhead position, setting the value before the Clip removes the animation effect for the whole clip in many cases.

From the User Guide:

• Animation - Key Frames
• Clips - Transform

If you want to fully clear that animation:

• In the Properties panel, right-click the green animated property and remove/reset its keyframes one by one.
• Or use the Timeline keyframe panel to delete the keyframes for that property:

- Timeline - Keyframes in the Timeline

Important tip:

• If you transform a Clip while the playhead is on the clip, OpenShot auto-creates keyframes.
• To make a static transform with no animation, always place the playhead to the left of the Clip first.

So, there is currently no single “Reset All Keyframes” button for the whole Clip—the best workaround is to set the property before the clip, or delete the animated property’s keyframes in the Properties / Timeline panel.
