# Setting keyframes

To set the first keyframe for a parameter:

1. In the Timeline window select the parameter you want to animate.

2. Move the Time cursor to the point in time where you want to create the keyframe.
3. Set the parameter to the value you want (for example move the effect, or choose a color).
4. Click the wave button left to the parameter name. A keyframe is created at the time cursor's position for that parameter value.

To add additional keyframes for a parameter:

1. In the timeline window, select the parameter you want to animate.
2. The parameter must already contain at least one keyframe and the wave button must be activated.
3. Move the Time cursor to the point in time where you want to create the keyframe.
4. Set the parameter to the value you want (for example move the effect, or choose a color).
