That does seem odd. I thought clicking Apply creates the keyframe but that doesn't seem to work on my computer. (Using ASP 11.2.1). But I might be misunderstanding how it works. Hopefully another user or somebody from SM will reply soon.

Oh, duh. Thanks synthsin75.

I knew I was missing something. What threw me off is that the option is under a different tab.

Now, if only I had a dime for every time I 'Oh, duh'-ed after one of your responses. :)
