Working with Keyframes in the Timeline

When keyframing, it is often helpful to view your keyframes in the Timeline. This lets you
move keyframes to line them up with other important timing elements in your project
such as edit points, sound cues, markers, and even other keyframes. You can also view
keyframe parameters, and delete keyframes you don’t need.
