292 Chapter 10 Parameter Animation and the Curve Editor
• To keyframe parameter changes you make using a node’s Viewer controls, turn on
the Autokey button in the Viewer shelf.
Whenever you first enable keyframing, a keyframe is automatically created at the
current position of the playhead in the Time Bar for the affected parameters.
2 To create a second keyframe, move the playhead in the Time Bar to another frame, and
then change the value of the parameter.
A keyframe appears in the Time Bar to show this change.
When a parameter is animated, keyframes appear in the Time Bar to indicate each
change to that parameter. If the playhead is directly over a keyframe, that keyframe is
green to indicate that it’s “selected.” In other words, changes you make to that
parameter simply modify the current keyframe, instead of creating a new one.
Note: You can also edit keyframes in the Curve Editor by clicking the parameter’s Load
Curve button (the clock-shaped button to the left of the Autokey button in the
Parameters tab).
To delete a keyframe:
m In the Time Bar, move the playhead to the desired keyframe, then do one of the
following:
• Click the Delete Keyframe button in the Viewer or Curve Editor.
• Right-click the parameter from which you want to delete a keyframe, then choose
Delete Current Key from the shortcut menu.
• Click the Load Curve button for the parameter that contains the keyframe you want
to delete, then click the keyframe in the Curve Editor and press Delete.
