Show Pop-Up Menu

The Show pop-up menu lets you filter the parameters displayed in the Keyframe Editor,
allowing you to focus on only those parameters that you want to modify. For more
information, see

.

Current Frame Field

This field lets you instantly jump to any frame in your project. Because it is also a value
slider, you can drag in the field to move the playhead to a new frame.

To move to a frame
Do one of the following:

µ

Double-click in the value field, type a frame number, then press Return.

The playhead moves to the specified frame.

µ

Drag the current frame value slider left or right. Dragging to the left moves the playhead
earlier in time. Dragging to the right moves it forward in time.
