Ever tweaked an animation exactly how you wanted it-only to have it run just a bit short on time? To extend a tween span on the Timeline without moving your current property keyframes (those all-powerful little diamond icons you’ve sweated over), move the cursor to the end of the tween span until you see a double-arrow cursor. Then hold the Shift key and click-and-drag the end of the span until it’s the desired length. Then walk away. Really.
