Modifying a Path in the Timeline View
When you select a peg or drawing layer in the Camera view and move it around, Harmony will automatically create keyframes on the corresponding function curves. If you want to modify these curves, you can do it through the peg or drawing layer parameters in the Timeline view.
Harmony lets you also flip between the selected layer's keyframes in the Timeline view.
