Re: Adobe After Effects Quick Tip - Re-Positioning Made Easy

Great tip, but might be worth mentioning that this will only work if your position marker is standing on one of the keyframes you already have. (shouldn't matter which one)
If it's not, you'll end up making a new keyframe and messing up your animation.
