Keyframe Editor
The Keyframe Editor is where you can view and modify the individual attributes of
filters, behaviors, and other effects over time. Each parameter can be displayed as a
curve showing how the parameter’s value changes over time. You can manipulate the

more information on using the Keyframe Editor, see Chapter 6, “
