To add more keyframes

1

Move the playhead to another point in the clip where you want to set a keyframe.

2

Do one of the following:

• Adjust the appropriate parameter control.

• Type a number in the appropriate number field.

• Click a parameter’s keyframe button to add a keyframe with the current value of the

parameter.

• Hold down the Option key and click a parameter’s keyframe graph line where you want

to add the keyframe.

This doesn’t change the parameter’s current value; it simply adds a keyframe with the
same value. You can add as many keyframes as you want by clicking repeatedly with the
Option key held down.

Adjusting and Deleting Keyframes

After you add keyframes to a parameter, you can adjust keyframes to produce the effect
you want. You can modify individual keyframes, interpolated values between keyframes,
or all keyframes at one time. You can also move and delete keyframes at any time.

To adjust the value of a single keyframe
Do one of the following:

µ

Move the playhead to the keyframe you want to adjust, then drag the appropriate
parameter control to a new value.

µ

Move the playhead to the keyframe you want to adjust, type a new value in the
appropriate parameter’s number field, then press Return.

µ

Move the pointer over the keyframe you want to modify (the pointer becomes a crosshair),
then drag the keyframe up or down.

To raise the keyframe’s value: Drag the keyframe up.

To lower the keyframe’s value: Drag the keyframe down.

As you drag, a box
shows the new value
of the keyframe.
