Tip: This is also useful for setting keyframes in the video opacity and audio level overlays
of a clip in the Timeline.
Once you’ve added at least one keyframe to a parameter, new keyframes are automatically
added whenever you move the playhead and make further adjustments. To better see
what you are doing, you may want to add more space to the keyframe graph area before
you set additional keyframes. For more information about resizing the keyframe graph
area, see
“Resizing the Keyframe Graph Area.”
