Keyframes and Curves

Press Shift while dragging to change the value in increments of 10.

Press Option while dragging to change the value in increments of .01.

In addition to modifying existing keyframes, you can add and delete keyframes right in
the graph.

To add a keyframe:

1

Press the Option key and move the pointer over the parameter curve you want to
modify.

The pointer turns into a plus (+).

2

Click the curve at the frame where you want the keyframe to appear.

Drag the keyframe to your preferred value.

Note: You can also add a keyframe at the current playhead position by choosing Add
Keyframe from the Animation menu for any parameter, or by double-clicking the curve.
