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

overlays of a clip in the Timeline.

Once you’ve added at least one keyframe to a parameter, new keyframes are
automatically added whenever you move the playhead and make further adjustments.
To better see what you are doing, you may want to add more space to the keyframe
graph area before you set additional keyframes. For more information about resizing
the keyframe graph area, see “
