Keyframe Properties

Selecting a keyframe will open the keyframe properties in the properties panel. This panel is context sensitive to the type of keyframe selected. There are four types of data stored in keyframes, each will have a different properties panel display:

• Integer
• Float
• Boolean
• Mixed

These are determined by the pin data type stored in the keyframe. If the track represents a single Pin data type then either Integer, Float or Boolean properties controls will be displayed. There are some instances where a single keyframe contains multiple data types within it. An example of this would be the Media Player keyframe.

The properties available to the Integer, Float and Boolean keyframes include nudge in steps, time, pin value(Data can be a boolean, float or integer value) and a lock.

Nudge in steps

Using the steps measurement (Changeable in the editor toolbar) to nudge at increments of x1 or x5.

Timecode

The time that the keyframe is located in the timeline.

Pin Value

The value can be displayed as a number value, a list or a toggle.

Lock

Lock restricts editing of this keyframe until unlocked.

Transition Type

The type field is available to keyframe with solely float type pin data stored. The transition is a change in data values between two keyframes expressed as a line. To alter a transition type you must change the value in the end keyframe, for example if a transition is between keyframe A and keyframe B and you wish to change to a snap transition then you must change the value in keyframe B’s properties panel. The three types of transition are linear, snap and curve.

Linear	A straight line between two points
Curve	A slow attack and release line between to points
Snap	A instant change from previous to next value
