A keyframe is a value at a moment. Between two keyframes the layer moves from one value to the next, and easing sets how. Open a row's settings to edit both.

Edit keyframes

Open a row

On the Animate tab, click an animation row such as Position Y.

Retime the whole animation

Delay moves the start and Length stretches it. Both are in milliseconds.

Each line has a time in ms and a value. Two keyframes are labelled From and To, and longer lists are numbered. Choose Add keyframe to add one 250 ms after the last, with the same value. Remove keyframe deletes one, but a row keeps at least one.

Choose an easing

Easing applies one curve to every step. Each keyframe after the first also has its own curve button, for the step leading into it.

Easing options

Easing	Feel
Linear	Constant speed
Ease in	Slow start
Ease out	Fast start, slow finish
Ease in-out	Slow at both ends
Overshoot	Goes past the value, then settles back
Anticipate	Pulls back first, then moves
Custom curve	Drag the handles of the curve editor

Hold

Open a keyframe's curve button and choose Hold to make the step jump. The value stays where it was until that keyframe's time, then changes at once. Use it for a layer that should appear without fading.

Try it

Add Position Y to the Price. Open its row and choose Add keyframe. You now have 40, 0 and 0. Change the second to -20, so the price rises past its place and settles at 0. Set Easing to Overshoot and play.

The timeline edits the same keyframes by dragging.
