You can edit either on a keyframe within the effect, or at any point between keyframes.
Insert: Insert the current image as a keyframe. Inserting a keyframe in an existing effect may change the duration of the effect (see page 172).
Modify: Modify a keyframe. You can modify a single keyframe or a range of keyframes in the effect together.
Delete: Delete a keyframe. You can delete a single keyframe or a range of keyframes in the effect together. Deleting keyframes from an effect reduces the duration of the effect (see page 173).
After deleting a keyframe, you can reinsert the keyframe with a paste operation.
Copy: Copy a keyframe. You can copy a single keyframe or a range of keyframes in the effect together.
Paste: Paste the keyframe last copied or deleted anywhere within the effect.
Pause: You can set a pause on a particular keyframe, so that when the effect is run it pauses on this keyframe. You can make this setting on any number of keyframes. To restart the paused effect, repeat the operation to run the effect.
KF Loop: Execute the effect the specified number of times through the keyframes in the specified range.
Undo an edit operation: Undo the effect of the last operation to insert, modify, delete, or paste a keyframe.
Duration modes
In keyframe editing, there are two duration modes; switch between them in the keyframe operation section. (See “Time Settings” in Chapter 13 (Volume 2).) Variable duration mode: In this mode, inserting or deleting a keyframe
increases or reduces the duration.
Constant duration mode: In this mode, inserting or deleting a keyframe does not change the duration. This is useful for keyframe editing of an effect with a fixed duration.
In the variable and constant duration modes, the keyframes to which a modify operation applies, and the effect of a paste operation are different.
