1. Unfold the layer.
2. Hover and click to insert keyframe.
You can move the Keyframe left and right anywhere on the Timeline. Whenever a
Keyframe-enabled property is modified, the value of the Keyframe at the current play-
head position is updated. If no Keyframes are present at that time, one is created with
the new property value. The interpolation between values can be either Spline or Linear.
You can select the interpolation mode by using the icon next to the property name. You
can also move between Keyframes by using the left and right arrows.

1. Make sure the interpolation mode is set to Spline by clicking on the
Spline icon.
2. Unfold the animation layer to make the curve appear.
3. Click on a keyframe to make the tangents appear.
Once tangent control is enabled, you can click and drag the tangent endpoints to fine
tune the shape of the curve.

By default, X-Agora ensures that the curve keeps a smooth slope, with no discontinuities.
If you want to change that and allow the curve to have spikes and angles, select the
keyframe and uncheck the "Symmetric" property.
