### 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 a stopwatch is inactive, it will be activated, and a keyframe will be created.

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