Key frame values going back to zero

[Anonymous]

I've been trying to animate on Maya 2019. But as soon as I move away from a key frame, the values all get reset into zero. The key is there but without the values that I've given. I'll link a few pictures for reference

Here it is before I key it:

Here I'm keying the finger control, you can see that there are values for some attribute:

Here I'm scrubbing to get to the place I want to key next, but you can already see that the values have changed to zero:

Here I go back to the keyed frame and now all the values are gone, but shows up as keyed:

I tried to do the same thing with a simple sphere without controls, just to check if it was the rig's problem. But nope, it's the same result:

Before keying

Keyed and movedScrubbing but values become zeroBack to key that is now having no values

I also opened an already animated file of a friend to check. Only their animation works and key values are visible while any key I add just goes back to zero. I've gotten the software reinstalled twice and it happened in the 2018 version too. I have no idea what is going wrong. Please help!

Can you make screenshot of the graphEditor on set keyframe and scrubbed one?

Hi!

For me it looks as if you do it in the wrong order, first you create the key and then you change the values.

You need to set the values first and then key these values or you need to use Auto Key.

Thank you! No wonder everyone I asked were confused because nothing else was wrong!!

Thank you for replying but turns out I was doing it in the wrong order ^^" The graph editor was also showing nothing because of my mistake
