How Keyframing Works in Different Rooms
You can keyframe effects in the Primary In, Secondaries, Color FX, Primary Out and
Geometry rooms. Each room has its own separate set of keyframes, stored in individual
tracks of the keyframe graph of the Timeline. These tracks are hidden until you start
adding keyframes within a particular room, which makes that room's keyframe track
visible.
Keyframes created in each room are visible in the Timeline all at once, but you can edit
and delete only the keyframes of the room that's currently open. All other keyframes are
locked until you open their associated rooms.
Although the ways you create, edit, and remove keyframes are identical for every room,
keyframes have different effects in each room. For more information, see:

Keyframing Corrections in the Primary In and Out Rooms
You can keyframe every control and parameter in the Primary In and Out rooms. This lets
you correct inappropriately shifting lighting and color caused by automatic camera
settings, as well as create animated effects of your own. There are two caveats to
keyframing corrections in the Primary In and Out rooms:
• Keyframes in the Primary rooms record the state of all controls and parameters at once.
It's not possible to independently keyframe individual parameters.
• Curves cannot be animated with keyframes, although every other parameter in the
Primary In and Primary Out rooms can be.
