Working with Keys

Keys define the main animation points in an animation. Max interpolates all the positions and values
between the key points to generate the animation. Using the Track View, you can edit these animation keys
with precision. Keys can be edited in either layout but are probably easiest to edit in the Dope Sheet layout
with the Edit Keys button enabled.
