Even while I'm transitioning careers and spending more intentionally right now, I would easily drop $30 for this tool.

This plugin is very good. Not sure how this isn’t in Premiere already.

Fixing Premiere Pro Keyframe Handle Drift

  • Premiere’s Keyframe Handles Are Hard to Control

    When adjusting ease in / ease out keyframes in Premiere Pro, many editors run into the same issue.

     

    You try to drag the Bezier handle to shape the motion curve… but the handle moves up or down, which changes the value of the keyframe and completely ruins your smooth motion. So instead of adjusting easing, you end up fighting the graph editor.

     

    Editors commonly run into problems like:

    • Trying to drag keyframe handles in a straight horizontal line, but they drift up or down while adjusting easing
    • Inconsistent motion curves in the Premiere graph editor that require numerous retries
    • Having to zoom in and eyeball alignment just to keep the value the same

     

    This is why many editors say the Premiere Pro graph editor is harder to control than After Effects.

  • How Keyrails Fixes It

    Keyrails makes it possible to adjust keyframe handles horizontally without changing the keyframe value. Instead of fighting Premiere’s graph editor, you can shape your easing curves smoothly and precisely.

     

    With Keyrails you can:

    • Drag keyframe handles in a perfect horizontal line to adjust ease in / ease out curves precisely
    • Keep your keyframe values locked while adjusting easing
    • Shape motion curves faster and more consistently
    • Stay fully inside Premiere Pro without switching to After Effects

     

    The result is cleaner motion and faster video editing and animation workflows.

FAQs

  • Is Keyrails like holding shift in After Effects?

    Basically, yes. Keyrails locks your cursor movement to the horizontal axis while dragging keyframe handles, which keeps keyframe values from changing while adjusting easing. However, if you click slightly above or below the handle before dragging, the handle may still move a tiny amount vertically and you may need to try again. But, in practice this still makes controlling ease in / ease out curves in Premiere Pro dramatically easier.

  • Does Keyrails work on Mac and Windows?

    Yes. Keyrails works on macOS and Windows.

    Your purchase also includes two license activations, which means you can use it on:

    • two different computers
    • or one Mac and one Windows machine

    Keyrails requires Screen Recording permission so it can detect keyframe handles in Premiere. It does not record or store any screen or audio data.

  • Do I need After Effects to use Keyrails?

    No. Keyrails works directly inside Premiere and improves control of the Premiere graph editor. Many editors use After Effects because easing curves are easier to control there. Keyrails helps make Premiere keyframe editing much smoother without leaving Premiere.

  • What versions of Premiere does Keyrails support?

    Keyrails operates at the OS level, meaning it doesn’t matter which version of Premiere you have. It works on Windows and it works on macOS 14 Sonoma and above.
