Add keyframes for animating
You can add keyframes in the Timeline or the Effect Controls panel at the current time. Use the Toggle Animation
button in the Effect Controls panel to activate the keyframing process. Keyframe display must be enabled for a track
or clip before you can view or add keyframes in the Timeline panel.

In the Timeline panel, select the clip that contains the effect you want to animate.
2
If you want to add and adjust keyframes in the Timeline panel, make keyframes visible for the video or audio
track.
Note: If you are adding keyframes to a Fixed effect (Motion, Opacity, or Volume) in the Timeline panel, you can skip
step 3.

In the Effect Controls panel, click the triangle to expand the effect that you want to add keyframes to, and then
click the Toggle Animation icon
to activate keyframes for an effect property.

Do one of the following to display the effect property’s graph:
•
(Effect Controls panel) Click the triangle to expand the effect property and display its Value and Velocity graphs.

•
Click the Add/Remove Keyframe button in the Effect Controls panel and then adjust the effect property’s value.

the current time.
