Learn how to enable keyframe snapping in the Effect Controls panel to align a keyframe with another object when it is dragged near its position.

In the Effect Controls panel, keyframe snapping pulls a keyframe into alignment with another object when it's dragged near the position of that object. You can specify whether to enable keyframe snapping in the Effect Controls panel and determine the types of objects to which keyframes snap.

  1. Select the panel menu button at the upper right of the Effect Controls panel to open the panel menu.

  2. Select Snap To. Check the objects, such as Video Keyframes, to which you want keyframes to snap. Deselect objects to which you want no snapping. Return to this submenu to make each selection.

    The Effects Controls settings is open and Video Keyframes is selected under the Sanp To options.
    Snapping keyframes into place streamlines the editing process, helping you work more efficiently.
