+== !KeyFrameAnimationCue ==
+As already mentioned, a !KeyFrameAnimationCue is connected to a property of a pipeline object.
+This connection is defined via the attributes !AnimatedProxy (proxy of the pipeline object) and !AnimatedPropertyName (name of the connected property), though typically you do not have to set these attributes on your own. Instead they are set when constructing a !KeyFrameAnimationCue by calling !GetAnimationTrack(...) (see use case below).
+Similar to the !AnimationScene, every cue also has the properties !StartTime and !EndTime. Typically these properties do not have the same values as the corresponding ones of !AnimationScene. When !TimeMode is set to 'Normalize', the start and end time of the animation scene is linearly interpolated to the interval [0,1]. These values are the default ones.
+
+=== !KeyFrameAnimationCue Use Case ===
+Create three different animation cues for three different properties of a sphere:
+{{{
+#!python
+from paraview.simple import *
+sphere = Sphere()
+Show(sphere)
+track3 = GetAnimationTrack("Visibility") # property of active source
+track1 = GetAnimationTrack("Center", 0, sphere)
+track2 = GetAnimationTrack(sphere.GetProperty("Radius"))
+}}}
