### Set value

Replaces existing value with a new one. If property has stopwatch enabled, linear keyframe will be created.

### Add value

Adds, subtracts, multiplies, divides or takes percentage from existing value. If property has stopwatch enabled, linear keyframe will be created.

| Operation | Symbol      |
| --------- | ----------- |
| Add       | + (or none) |
| Subtract  | -           |
| Multiply  | \*          |
| Divide    | /           |
| Percent   | %           |

{% hint style="info" %}
Create two User Commands for scale, using **add value** setting:\
`scale_up: +5`  \
`scale_down: -5`\
Assign keyboard for each command. Now it is possible to control clip scale with a keyboard.

Same is useful for position, rotation and other properties.
{% endhint %}

### Add/Delete keyframe

Works the same way as in After Effects.\
If there is no keyframe at playhead position, it will be created.\

If keyframe exists at playhead, it will be deleted.\
If no keyframes left, a stopwatch will be deactivated.
