Display and edit keyframes

You can view and edit keyframes in the Properties view of the Tasks panel. The Properties view displays all effect
properties, keyframes, and interpolation methods at once, but only for a single selected clip. The Timeline can display
the keyframes for multiple clips at once, but can display only one property per clip.

To access the Properties view for effects, click Edit in the Tasks panel, click the Effects button to open Effect view, and
then click the Edit Effects button at the bottom of the panel. In general, use the Properties view for these tasks:

Make detailed changes to multiple keyframe values.

Edit the keyframes of effects that have multiple or two-dimensional values, such as Motion or Perspective.

Edit keyframes while using the Sceneline.

In general, use the Timeline for these tasks:

Quickly view and adjust keyframes for a single effect.

Edit the keyframes of effects that have a single, one-dimensional value, such as Opacity or Volume.

If you want to animate a clip’s Motion effect, you can work directly in the Monitor panel, while adding keyframes in
the Timeline or the Properties view.

Display keyframes in the Properties view of the Tasks panel

You can view any keyframe in the keyframe area of the Properties view of the Tasks panel. Any effect that contains
animated properties displays a summary keyframe

when the effect is collapsed. Summary keyframes appear in the

keyframe area and correspond to all the individual property keyframes contained in the effect. You can’t manipulate
summary keyframes; they appear for reference only.
