NOTE When you use the K hotkey in the Animation Editor, keyframes are
added as follows:
If none of the inputs of the selected node are selected, a keyframe is
added at the current viewer's time for every input in the selected node
(as if you selected every input in the tool).
If at least one input is selected, keyframes are set on the selected inputs
only.
Every time a keyframe is set, there is no check for previous animation
on inputs. This means that pressing the K hotkey will set keyframes on
inputs even if the inputs were not already animated.
The Set Keyframe for marked attributes hotkey combination (Shift + K).
NOTE The Shift + K hotkey has the same behavior as the Set Keyframe buttons
mentioned above. It will set keyframes for all the marked attributes of the
currently selected tool. The K hotkey, on the other hand, can only be used in
an Animation Editor context.
Example: Animating Using the Tool UI
In this example, you'll be creating a simple animation that would change the
amount of gray in an image over the span of 96 frames. You'll be manually
setting keyframes using the tool UI.
NOTE It is assumed that the composition is loaded and that the Gray tool has
been added to the dependency graph.
To animate the amount of gray in an image using the Gray tool UI:
1 Click on the Gray tool and select the Amount attribute label, marking it
for keyframing. A yellow rectangle appears on the tool node indicating
that it has been marked for keyframing.
