# Selecting Multiple Keyframes and Channels

You can select multiple keyframes or channels to edit them in tandem. Do this, for example, to modify every second keyframe in an animation curve or to apply the same modification to two or more channels from different folders.

NoteYou can select a channel in Move or Select mode by clicking its name in the channel hierarchy, or clicking the channel with the cursor.

To select multiple channels:

1. From the Edit Mode box, select Move or Select.
2. Click a channel in the hierarchy to select it.
   TipYou can also select channels by clicking their animation curve or track.

   When a channel is selected, its name and animation curve are highlighted. As well, if the channel corresponds to an element in the image window, the element is highlighted there. For example, if you select the Axis channel for a clip, its axis is highlighted in the image window.

3. Shift-click another channel to add it to the selection. Shift-click a selected channel to deselect it.

To select multiple keyframes:

1. From the Edit Mode box, select Move or Select.
2. Select one or more channels in the hierarchy.
3. Drag a selection box around the keyframes. If you are using Move mode, Ctrl-drag to create a selection box. If you are using Select mode, just drag to create a selection box.

   All keyframes inside the selection box are selected.

4. Ctrl-click another keyframe to add it to the selection. Ctrl-click a selected keyframe to deselect it.

To select multiple keyframes from a selected channel:

1. From the Edit Mode box, select Move or Select.
2. Select one or more channels in the hierarchy.
3. Hold down Ctrl+F and drag the selection box along the horizontal axis.

   The keyframes of the selected channels within the drag range are selected. For example, dragging the selection box over the first ten frames of an animation selects all keyframes that fall within those ten frames.
