Keyframes in the Graph Editor with direction handles
To move the current-time indicator to a keyframe
After you set the initial keyframe for a property, After Effects displays the keyframe navigator, which you can use to
move from keyframe to keyframe or to set or remove keyframes. When the keyframe navigator box is selected, the
current-time indicator lies precisely at a keyframe for that layer property. When the keyframe navigator box is
deselected, the current-time indicator lies between keyframes. When arrows appear on each side of the keyframe
navigator box, other keyframes for that property exist on both sides of the current time.
Detach the keyframe navigator from the A/V Features column to function as its own column by choosing Column >
Keys from the Timeline panel menu.
