Removing animation keys in 4.12?

DefaultName

I need to give an animation more frames. So I start character in Pose A at frame 1, then Frame 30 they're in Pose B.

But I now want to make it so that in frame 45 they're in Pose B, taking longer to go through the animation more smoothly.

However, when I put them in Pose B at frame 45, they're still stuck in Pose B from frame 30. And the option to delete the keys, which would have fixed this in the past, is greyed out and I can't touch it.

Is there an easy solution please? Thank you.

You need to select the actual keys, on the properties, rather than just the node as a whole - though there are differences between the general release (4.12.0.86) and the Public Build (4.12.1.75).

I know where the properties are, but I'm only able to select all keys? I'm trying to remove just the frame 30 Keys, not the keys for the entire animation, and it would screw it up, because I have stuff going on in frame 15, for example, that I still want to keep (in this instance, bumping it to frame 23).

You should be able to select the keys for a particular frame - expand the entries in the Timeline (using Advanced mode) to see the individual proeprties, then marquee select the keys at frame 30 and click the - button on the tool bar at the bottom of the pane

Okay. I'll try this if my current plan doesn't pan out - I saved a bunch of presets and just cleared the animation.

Okay, I'm trying to select individual keys. Advanced mode? Is that just when I expand to see properties?

And how do I marquee select? Thank you!

My apologies, I figured out how to marquee select, and have been able to delete the keys. Thank you!
