For each animation the object contains multiple keyframe tracks

In Stages you can control, among other things, transparency, fading in and out, screen panning, the motion path and the text display in the Timeline, over Keyframes.
This allows you to match the effects by time.
If you are using music or sound, the effects can be matched precisely to the audio with the help of the Keyframe track, but the effects are also matched better to each other with the help of the Keyframes.
A Keyframe always stands for a particular setting, which is displayed at a specified time. The values which lie between the two Keyframes are are automatically generated by Stages.
In this way you can completely control a process of transparency, a movement or a cross-fade using Keyframes.

Open Keyframe Tracks for Text Object

The symbols to open and close the Keyframe Track can also be found on the individual Objects.
If you wish to save space in the Timeline and prefer not display every individual Keyframe Track to be displayed, simply close the others. Then use the button to open the Keyframe Track, which is located on the respective object.

Opened Keyframe Tracks

First of all open the Keyframe Tracks of the Object. Depending on the type of Object, there are differing Keyframe Tracks available. You can see which Effect or which Property can be set for each Track thanks to the symbols at the beginning of each Keyframe Track.

If you wish to edit the Keyframes in a particular track, first click on the relevant Track. This is then highlighted by a slight enlargement.

Then click anywhere within this Track to create a Keyframe. This Keyframe can create a new Motion Marker in the Track for the pan shot whose Properties you can, for example, set precisely in the Layout designer.

A Keyframe in the Track for Transpareny creates a new point in the Transparency Curve. You see this curve with your ups and downs directly in the Keyframe Track.
