Navigating Among Keyframes in the Time Bar

Once you’ve created a number of keyframes, two keyframe navigation controls let you
move the playhead from keyframe to keyframe, making it easy to jump to and modify
existing keyframes.

Note: These two controls only work when the playhead is within a range of two or
more keyframes in the Time Bar. If the playhead is located either before the first
keyframe, or after the last keyframe, these controls have no effect.

Using the Curve Editor

While the Time Bar is adequate for creating keyframes for one parameter at a time, the
Curve Editor gives you a much more complete environment in which to create, move,
and otherwise modify keyframes. The Curve Editor also provides the only place where
you can see and modify the animation or Lookup curves that represent the
interpolated values that lie in between each keyframe.
