• Move the current-time indicator where you want the keyframe, and click the Add/Remove Keyframe button .
3 Add keyframes as needed.
Note: If you create a keyframe before the first or after the last existing keyframe for a property, the new keyframe acquires
the same value as that existing keyframe. If the new keyframe falls between existing keyframes, however, it acquires a
value interpolated between the values of the previous and next keyframes.
Copy keyframes
To quickly apply the same keyframe values to another clip or point in time, copy and paste the keyframes. When you
paste them, the first keyframe appears at the current time, and the other keyframes follow in relative order. The
keyframes remain selected after you paste them, so you can immediately move them if needed.
Keyframes are pasted to only the currently selected clip. That clip must display the same property as the copied
keyframes.
Note: If the target clip is shorter than the source clip, keyframes pasted after the target clip’s Out point don’t appear unless
you disable the Pin To Clip option in the Properties view. Right-click and deselect Pin To Clip.

keyframes.

property isn’t available from the menu, first apply the effect containing the property.
