Parts of the Window
The Keyframe Editor is made up of a list of parameters on the left and a multi-
functional graph on the right.
Check Your Selection
The parameters that are available in the Keyframe Editor depend on which objects
are selected in the other windows. If you select one item in the Layers tab, Canvas, or
Timeline windows, only parameters for that object are accessible in the Keyframe
Editor.
If you want to compare curves from parameters across multiple objects (for example
to make two separate objects begin fading in at the same time), you must select both
items in the Layers tab or in another window. Then parameters for both objects are
listed in the Keyframe Editor.
Additionally, you can modify curves on an entire layer if the layer is selected instead
of the objects within it. In this way, you can view or modify keyframe activity that
affects all of the objects within the layer as a group.
