Can I use scale keyframes multiple times in a video clip?

This is what I want to do:

  • First 10 seconds: Have puppet scaled at a specific size: 25%.
  • Seconds 10-12: Use keyframes to upscale the size of the puppet: 40%.
  • Seconds 12-15: Keep puppet at the 40% size.
  • Seconds 15-17: Use keyframes again to upscale the size of the puppet even more: 60%.
  • Seconds 17 to end, keep puppet at 60% size.

I have not found a way to do that. It appears that the Scale keyframes can only be used once in the entire timeline.

Any suggestions?

Japanese was converted to English using translation software.
(1) Hit the key frame
(2) Select "Switch Stationary Keyframe" from the right-click menu
(3)The shape of the keyframe changes.
(4) The size of each keyframe changes in the timeline playback.
Thanks.

Thank you for taking time to reply. That did not work for me.

I am breaking up my video into tiny parts, so I will only have one pair of Position X values per timeline/video.

I spent 4 hours trying to have multiple Position X values in the same timeline/video, and nothing ever worked.

Time to move on to something that works.

You should be able add new keyframes to the timeline by clicking on the diamond shape as shown below. Just move the timeline bar to the place you want to put the key frame and then click on the button.
