Each effect in the Video Animation editor has a separate area for adding keyframes.

individual parameters separately. They appear in the Video Animation editor with a
down arrow next to the effect’s name or in the Video inspector as additional parameter
controls.

the effect or effect parameter for which you want to add keyframes.
3. Do one of the following:
• See expanded parameters in the Video Animation editor: Click the down arrow next
to the effect and choose an individual parameter from the pop-up menu, or choose
All to add keyframes for all parameters.
• See expanded parameters in the Video inspector: Position the pointer over the effect
and click Show.
