Like the Timeline panel, the Effect Controls panel also displays keyframes graphically. Once keyframing is
activated for an effect property, you can display the Value and Velocity graphs. The Value graph displays
keyframes with changes in an effect’s property values. The Velocity graph displays keyframes with handles for
adjusting the speed and smoothness of the value changes from keyframe to keyframe.
•
Keyframes for audio track effects can be edited only in the Timeline panel or in the Audio Mixer. Keyframes for
audio clip effects are like keyframes for video clip effects; they can be edited in the Timeline panel or in the Effect
Controls panel.
You can modify the panel arrangement further and choose Window
>
Workspace > New Workspace to save the
modified configuration as your own workspace. Be sure to give your workspace a name in the New Workspace
dialog box before clicking the Save button.

View keyframes and graphs
Both the Effect Controls and the Timeline panels let you adjust the timing and values of keyframes, but each works
in a different way. Whereas the Effect Controls panel displays all effect properties, keyframes, and interpolation
methods at once, clips in the Timeline panel can show only one effect property at a time. In the Effect Controls
panel, you have complete control over keyframe values. In the Timeline panel, you have limited control (for
example, you can’t change values that use x, y coordinates, such as Position), however, you can make keyframe
adjustments while editing without moving to the Effect Controls panel.
The graphs in the Timeline and Effect Controls panels display the values of each keyframe and the interpolated
values between keyframes. When the graph of an effect property is level, the value of the property is unchanged
between keyframes. When the graph goes up or down, the value of a property increases or decreases between
keyframes. You can change the interpolation method and adjust Bezier curves in a graph to affect the speed and
smoothness of the property changes from one keyframe to the next.

View keyframes in the Effect Controls panel
If you’ve added keyframes to a sequence clip, you can view them in the Effect Controls panel. Any effect containing
keyframed properties displays Summary Keyframe icons
when the effect is collapsed. Summary keyframes
appear across from the effect’s heading and correspond to all the individual property keyframes contained in the
effect. You cannot manipulate summary keyframes; they appear for reference only.
