Specify keyframe values

To animate an effect, you specify different property values across keyframes. You can change keyframe values in either
the Properties view of the Tasks panel or the Timeline.

Changing keyframe values in the Timeline works best for simple opacity and volume adjustments. For more detailed
changes, use the Properties view.

to select the keyframe.
