Keyframing

Keyframes define the start and endpoint of the sequence that you want to animate.

To add a keyframe to a node or particular property:

1.

On the desired frametime, right-click within the track of the parameter you want to add a keyframe to. You can also click on the icon () for the track from the tree view list next to the timeline, or in the Properties panel.

2.

Click Add keyframe from the list of options.

3.

A keyframe will be added according to the current value in the dropdown list.

Tip:  Alternatively, you can press K while holding the mouse over the frametime you want to add a keyframe to.

To edit an existing keyframe:

1.

Go to the Properties panel of the node or property OR click the keyframe directly.

2.

Use the move tool to move the keyframe. Alternatively, change the position of the Keyframe by changing the Relative frametime.

3.

Edit the Interpolation mode using the dropdown menu.

4.

Adjust the Value of the keyframe to alter its appearance.

When multiple keyframes are added to a property, a green rectangle will appear between the keyframes in the timeline, as in the image below.
