Move the current-time indicator to a keyframe

Both the Effect Controls and a Timeline panels have keyframe navigators, which have left and right arrows to move the
current-time indicator from one keyframe to the next. In a Timeline panel, the keyframe navigator is enabled after you
activate keyframes for an effect property.

Do any of the following:

In the Timeline or Effect Controls panel, click a keyframe navigator arrow. The left-pointing arrow moves the
current-time indicator to the previous keyframe. The right-pointing arrow moves the current-time indicator to the
next keyframe.

(Effect Controls panel only) Shift-drag the current-time indicator to snap to a keyframe.
