I moved the transform in the preview pan to pan/zoom, creating hundreds of keyframes, how do I delete the bad ones ?

Hi,

So I have a clip I need to center and crop, while the video was playing I was moving it around and resizing it. This created a new keyframe on every mouse movement event.

When I figured where I needed my clip to be on screen, I tried going back and adding the right location and scale at the beginning of the scene. But this does nothing as the next keyframe will override these values.

I've been searching and searching for a way to efficiently remove key frame but it seems the only way to do this is to zoom in on the timeline to see each and every keyframe

Then for each one, in the properties pane, find each property that is modified by this keyframe, right click it and choose delete keyframe. When you have deleted all of them that one keyframe will be deleted.

Now you have to repeat this step for the hundreds more time the mouse moved ?

Surely there is a better way to mass delete them ?

The only thing I found was right clicking on the clip and click animation -> no animation

But this appears to delete every last one of them. So if you make a mistake, you have to start over because there is no edit, only delete all.

Also doing this, will override the previously existing location and scale keyframe at the beginning of the clip to the default values. And to restore it you need to somehow place the cursor/playhead on the very first frame of the clip, and then manually reset all the keyframe values to that of the frame before.
