4. Do one of the following for each effect:
• In the Video Animation editor: Option-click (or press Option-K) at a point on the
horizontal effect control where you want to add the keyframe.
Keyframes for the parameter you chose appear as white diamonds; keyframes for
other effect parameters appear gray.
When you choose to view all parameters in the Video Animation editor, keyframes
appear as white diamonds for all parameters. Double diamonds indicate that you
added a keyframe for more than one parameter at that point.
• In the Video inspector: Position the playhead in the timeline at the point where you
want to add a keyframe, then click the Keyframe button (or press Option-K).
After you add a keyframe, the Keyframe button becomes solid, indicating that the
playhead is currently on this keyframe.
When you move the playhead in the timeline, arrows appear next to the Keyframe
button in the Video inspector to indicate which side of the playhead has keyframes.
To go to the previous keyframe, click the left arrow. To go to the next keyframe, click
the right arrow.
5. Add keyframes as needed.
Tip: After you’ve added one keyframe, you can add another automatically by moving
the playhead in the timeline and then adjusting the effect parameter value in the
Video inspector.
