4
Press the [MOD] button.
This modifies the keyframe.
Modifying more than one keyframe simultaneously
You can modify a number of keyframes simultaneously. There are three
different cases for this operation.
• Modifying all keyframes after the edit point, or modifying from the edit point
to a particular keyframe
• Modifying all keyframes in the effect
• Modifying the keyframes in a specified range
The different procedures for these cases are now described.
To modify all keyframes after the edit point, or to modify from the
edit point to a particular keyframe
Use the following procedure.
