Aligning Keyframes with Other Objects

One of the main advantages of manipulating keyframes in the Timeline is the ability to
line up a keyframe with another important time marker. For example, you may want to
align a filter keyframe applied to one object with an object in another track.

To align a keyframe to another object

1

Click the Show/Hide Keyframes button in the Timeline.

Any keyframes in the project become visible.

2

Identify the keyframe you want to move.

Note: Control-clicking a keyframe in the Timeline displays a shortcut menu containing
the parameter name and value for each keyframe. If more than one keyframe is at the
same point in time, the shortcut menu lists all of them.

3

Drag the keyframe until it lines up with the edge of the object.
