Adjusting and Deleting Automation Keyframes
The Focus tools let you adjust automation in two different ways.
Adjusting Individual Keyframes
Using the Focus tools, you can click and drag any automation keyframe up or down and left or right (bounded by its neighboring keyframes) to adjust it directly. When zoomed in, this can be an effective way of making precise adjustments. The segment of automation affected by the keyframe being dragged continues to show green to indicate the new curve being created, and a tooltip with the currently adjust value appears, while the previously created data is shown in gray. When you release the mouse button, the curve is adjusted
