You can add keyframes to a filter or motion effect, to the controls for a generator, or to the level or pan of an audio clip.

You can also change the way the effect is used from one keyframe to the next. For example, you might want to adjust the opacity of a filter to let some frames of a clip show more clearly than others.

Keyframes work the same way wherever they are applied. The example below shows how you add a filter or motion effect.

1. Double-click the clip in the Browser or Timeline to open it in the Viewer.
2. Click the Filters or Motion tab.
3. Display in the Filters or Motion tab the item you want to change.
4. Move the playhead in the Canvas or the one above the Keyframe Graph in the Filters or Motion tab to the point at which you want to create a keyframe.
5. Adjust the value for the item you want to change when the playhead reaches that point. The value extends to the beginning or end of the clip.
6. To create the first keyframe for the item, click the Add Keyframe button in the Filters or Motion tab to the right of item you changed. The keyframe appears as a diamond on a horizontal line across the Keyframe Graph that corresponds to the item you changed.
7. To create additional keyframes for the item, move the playhead to the next point you want to change and adjust the value for that item. The program automatically adds a keyframe at that point.

1. Double-click the clip in the Browser or Timeline to open it in the Viewer.
2. Click the Filters or Motion tab.
3. Position the playhead on the keyframe and click the Add Keyframe button for the parameter you want to remove. (The button is green when it's on a keyframe.)
