Unpinned Keyframe Editing

specific NLE technique for viewing and manipulating keyframes that lie outside a clip's visible in and out points on the timeline. By 'unpinning' the clip from the effect controls panel (a feature in Premiere Pro), the editor can zoom out on a master timeline view of the effect's keyframes, revealing animation data that starts before the clip's head or ends after its tail. This is a critical troubleshooting step for animations that behave unexpectedly at their boundaries.
