Perhaps I'm missing something, but keyframes can be placed
on the SI tracks using points placed on the video "rubber
bands" in Premiere. I find it easy to vary the effect of
filters and transparency with time in the Premiere timeline,
though it is necessary to move clips up to the V2 track or
higher to do it. It is also exactly the Premiere handling of
keyframes on the timeline that makes Premiere useful to me
for multi-camera editing.
