Summary
In Sequel Box, every click on a property’s keyframe button adds a keyframe one step after the last one. You choose the spacing once (0.25, 0.5, 1 or 2 seconds, or your own), so you never drag the playhead to place keyframes. You can adjust any keyframe afterwards.
Click to add
Click a property’s keyframe button again and again. Each click adds a keyframe one step after the last.
Adjust and preview
Move any keyframe afterwards, press J and K to jump between them, and preview the move on the canvas.
How it works in Sequel Box
Classic keyframing means moving the playhead, changing a value, then moving the playhead again. Click-to-add keyframes remove the moving: the spacing is fixed, so a row of keyframes takes a row of clicks.
You can also add a camera for moves that affect the whole scene. Select a diamond and press Delete to remove a keyframe, or select the camera bar to remove the whole camera.
If you would rather not set keyframes at all, apply one of the five 3D presets (cube turn, doors, fly-in, loop or camera orbit) and fine-tune it on the timeline. Sequel Box also tracks an object in your video so the camera can follow it. See the features page for details.

Can I jump between keyframes?
Yes. Press J and K to jump between keyframes on the timeline.
How do I delete a keyframe or the camera?
Select a diamond and press Delete to remove that keyframe. Select the camera bar to remove the whole camera.
