Using the Snap button
When you drag a keyframe in the Graph editor with the Snap button toggled, the keyframe snaps to the following
items:
• Keyframes (both vertically and horizontally)
• Current-time indicator
• In/Out points
• Markers
• Work area start/end
• Composition start/end
When the keyframe snaps to one of these items, an orange line appears in the Graph Editor to indicate the object
you’re snapping to. Ctrl-drag (Windows) or Command-drag (Mac OS) to temporarily toggle the Snap button.
Note: Shift-dragging the current-time indicator also snaps to the items in the list above.
