This tutorial was helpful because I never fully understood the correct way to use keyframe animation in Maya.

There is a simple process.
1. Move the scrubber on the Time Slider Bar to the beginning or to the desired starting area.
--- Next to the Timeline of frames on the Time Slider, the "Current Time Text Box"
is available to enter the number of the frame one wants to locate.
2. Modify the attributes of the object being animated in the Channel Box / Layer Editor.
--- Highlight the attribute by clicking on it.
--- The middle mouse button can be dragged in the viewport to change the number.
--- Numbers can be changed with mouse and keyboard.
3. Place Keyframes on Time Slider.
---A keyframe can be specified by dragging the time slider there.
--- Highlight the previously changed attributes in the Channel Box / Layer Editor window.
--- Right Click and click "Key Selected".
--- The attribute box with the number in it turns red.
--- A vertical red line appears on the time slider next to the specified keyframe.
Now I feel more confident about animating an object in Maya.
