I need to know how I do to open a timeline editor where it is possible to move, delete or add key-frames when you are in the "Shaping Parameters and want to adjust on or many newly chosen keyframes"

Without more information about what exactly you are trying to do or about what version of DAZ Studio you are using I'm going to make a WILD GUESS and say you should be looking at the "Timeline" and/or "Animate2" (plug-in) tabs. Go to the menu option "Window" and the "Panes" (Tabs) sub menu item to open a list of available Panes (Tabs) inside DAZ Studio. Select the "Timeline" and/or the "Animate2" (if you have it) Panes (Tabs) options to open them. Then take a look into using them and see if they will meet your needs for setting up an animation with key frames.
Key frames can not be edited in Shaping or Parameters Tabs. Only on the DAZ Studio Timeline and you must have the proper node of the figure selected to show the key frame for that node you will not see a Left Shoulder node key frame on the timeline until the Left Shoulder node is selected in the Scene Tab. And then your only going to be able to Add a new key frame or delete the old key frame in the Basic DAZ Studio as it does not have more key frame editing built in at this time. I use the GoFigure KeyMate plugin to add key frame editing tools to DAZ Studio.
Ok! I already bought the Keymate and Graphmate but they never seemed to work as expected. Never seen a keyframe in them!
Now I bought the "Glute and Breast Movement for Genesis" to make my animations more realistic (http://www.daz3d.com/glute-and-breast-movement-for-genesis). That program is really great but without editing possibilities this is a total disappointment.
I adjust the breast dynamics of a female fat zombie and it´s ok as long as you do not need to go back and adjust the small movements or if something doesn´t look realistic enough. This would have been so easy to fix if there were an editor of keyframes available and maybe there is, but I just don´t know how to open and start it up in DAZ. Hopefully there are someone with more skills than me who can guide me right here.
Thanks in advance, Jack
I was wondering if this "GraphMate & KeyMate" YouTube tutorial would be of any help to you?
