As you have seen, setting keyframes in the Fusion page Inspector is identical to doing
so in the Edit page. So, it becomes incredibly easy to begin animating in the Fusion
page. You’ll encounter the main Fusion page differences compared to the Edit page
when you want to view and modify keyframes. In doing so, you’ll discover that the
animating power of the Fusion page far surpasses the Edit page.

Viewing and Modifying Keyframes

The Node editor is used for organizing the image-processing operations in your composite,
but it does not show keyframing information. However, the Fusion page includes a keyframes
editor and a spline editor that are extremely powerful for viewing and modifying keyframes.

In the upper-right corner of the DaVinci Resolve window, click the spline and the
keyframes buttons to show the two panels.

Both the spline editor and the keyframes editor give you tools to view and modify
keyframes. Because you currently are interested only in modifying your keyframes,
you do not need the Node editor. You can open more room for the keyframes editor
by temporarily hiding the nodes.
