Animation and keyframes
• Position the Selection or Pen tool over a keyframe or keyframe segment. The Selection or Pen tool changes to the
keyframe pointer
or keyframe segment pointer
Do any combination of the following:
6
• Drag a keyframe or segment up or down to change the value. As you drag, a tool tip indicates the current value. If
no keyframes are present, dragging adjusts the value for the entire clip or track.
• Drag a keyframe left or right to change the time location of the keyframe. As you drag, a tool tip indicates the
current time. If you move a keyframe onto another keyframe, the new keyframe replaces the old one.
The Value and Velocity graphs in the Effect Controls panel will show changes made to keyframes in a Timeline panel.

Use Selection Tool or Pen Tool to do one of the following:
• In a Timeline panel, select one or more keyframes and drag to the desired time.
• In the Effect Controls panel, select one or more keyframe markers and drag to the desired time.
Note: In the Effect Controls panel, a vertical black line extends above and below a selected keyframe. You can use the line
to align the keyframe with places on the time ruler or with other objects. If keyframe snapping is enabled, this line turns
white when the keyframe is aligned with certain types of objects. You determine the types with the Snap To control.
Determine keyframe snapping
In the Effect Controls panel, keyframe snapping pulls a keyframe into alignment with another object when it is dragged
near the position of that object. You can specify whether to enable keyframe snapping in the Effect Controls panel, and
determine the types of objects to which keyframes snap.

Click the panel menu button at the upper right of the Effect Controls panel to open the panel menu.
Select Snap To. Check the objects, such as Video Keyframes, to which you want keyframes to snap. Deselect objects
2
to which you want no snapping. Return to this submenu to make each selection.
Copy and paste keyframes
You can copy keyframes and paste them either to a new time in the clip's property or to the same effect property in a
different clip, using the Effect Controls panel. To quickly apply the same keyframe values at another point in time or
in another clip or track, copy and paste the keyframes in a Timeline panel.
