How to reset Event Pan/Crop settings / and how to select all key frames? at DVinfo.net

I was wondering.... when using the Event Pan/Crop window - is there some short way to just reset everything (meaning removing all keyframes, except the first one and setting it to the default settings)?

Also, is there a short way to select all keyframes, rather than having to shift+click them one by one?

Don't know if the script is available seperately but Excalibur does have a "reset pan/crop" script in it. Again I don't know if it's out there by itself. As for selecting all the keyframes I've never seen a script for that but that doesn't mean it's not out there. Since Edward is one of the scripting gurus maybe he's knows of one.

As Don said, Excalibur can easily delete all pan/crop keyframes using the Reset Pan/Crop tool. So that part can definitely be done in scripting.

You don't need to click them one-by-one to select them all. Just click on the first one and shiftt+click on the LAST one. That will automatically select all keyframes in-between those two keyframes. Of course, once selected you can right-click one of them and choose DELETE to delete them all (remember to leave the first one which you might want to right-click and choose "restore").
