Clip Keyframes
You can click the Clip Keyframes control to display the keyframe graph area—
additional space below each video and audio track in which to view and edit keyframes
for effects that are applied to your clips.
This area can be divided into four optional regions showing keyframes and parameters
for motion effects, video filters, and audio filters applied to your clips. For more
information about customizing and using the keyframe graph area, see Volume III,
Chapter 12, “Changing Motion Parameters.” You can also see, Volume III, Chapter 13,
“Adjusting Parameters for Keyframed Effects.”
 Filters bar: If a clip has one or more video or audio filters applied, a green bar
appears in this space for the duration of that clip. If keyframes are added to a filter in
a given clip, those keyframes appear as diamonds on this bar, where they can be
edited or moved using the Selection tool.
 Motion bar: If a clip’s motion settings are modified, a blue bar appears in this space
for the duration of that clip. If keyframes are added to the motion settings for a given
clip, those keyframes appear as diamonds on the bar to which they apply, where
they can be edited or moved using the Selection tool. This bar is only available for
