Keyframing in the Inspector
Keyframing in the Edit page works slightly differently than when using the Keyframe Editor in
the Color page. Most simple keyframing tasks can be performed in the Inspector using three
buttons that appear to the right of any parameter that’s capable of being keyframed. It takes
two keyframes at minimum to create an animated effect.
The three keyframe controls that appear in the
Inspector, from left to right: Previous keyframe,
Create/Delete keyframe, Next keyframe
Methods of keyframing parameters in the Inspector:
 To add a keyframe: Select a clip, open the Inspector, then move the Timeline playhead
to the frame where you want to place a keyframe, and click the Keyframe button next
to the parameter of the Inspector you want to animate. Once you’ve added at least
one keyframe to a parameter, all other adjustments you make to parameters in the
Inspector, or using the onscreen Transform/Crop controls in the Timeline Viewer add
new keyframes automatically if the playhead is at another frame.
 To move the playhead to the next or previous keyframe: Click the small left- or right-
hand arrow to either side of a parameter’s keyframe control to jump the playhead to the
next or previous keyframe. You can also press Right-Bracket ( [ ) and Left-Bracket ( ] ) to
go from keyframe to keyframe.
 To edit an existing keyframe of a parameter: Move the playhead to be on top of the
keyframe you want to edit, and then change that parameter, either in the Inspector, or
using the onscreen controls of the Timeline Viewer.
Methods of changing keyframe interpolation in the Inspector:
 To change a keyframe to Ease In or Ease Out: Eased keyframes create animated
changes that begin slowly and accelerate to full speed, or slow down gradually to
decelerate to a stop. This only works when you have two or more keyframes creating
an animated effect. Move the playhead to a frame with a keyframe using the next/
previous keyframe controls, then right-click the orange keyframe button and choose
Ease In, Ease Out, or Ease In and Out, depending on which keyframe you’re editing and
the effect you want to create.
 To change a keyframe to Linear: Move the playhead to a frame with a keyframe using
the next/previous keyframe controls, then right-click the orange keyframe button and
choose Linear.
Methods of deleting keyframes and disabling keyframed effects:
 To delete a single keyframe: Open the Inspector, move the Timeline playhead to a frame
with a keyframe, and click the orange Keyframe button in the Inspector to delete it.
 To delete all keyframes for one parameter: Click the reset button to the right of a
parameter’s keyframe control in the Inspector.
 To delete all keyframes in a group of parameters in the Inspector: Click the reset
button to the right of a parameter group’s title bar in the Inspector.
