Body: <p>As I understand, there are 2 types of keyframes in AE: basic (Linear, Bezier, Continuous Bezier, Auto Bezier, Hold) and hybrid ones. Here is a picture from the <a href="https://thesbit.com/types-of-keyframes-in-after-effects/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">site</a> I read:
  <a href="https://i.sstatic.net/5tSpD.jpg" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/5tSpD.jpg" alt="enter image description here" /></a></p>
  <p>It’s clear for me about the basic ones, but I’m totally confused with the hybrid keyframes. There's a quote from the same <a href="https://thesbit.com/types-of-keyframes-in-after-effects/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">site</a>:</p>
  <blockquote>
  <p>By default, a keyframe would use only one type of Temporal
  Interpolation (linear for example). But in some cases, a keyframe
  might show dual nature as well. Which means one half of the keyframe
  is Linear (incoming/outgoing) while the other half could be Hold or
  Bezier (e.g. Toggle Hold or Ease In/Out settings). This is something
  that I call hybrid keyframes.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <p>As I understand it, the right part of the key should show the previous key, and the second part should show the subsequent key. But this doesn't happen:

  <p>Apparently I misunderstand it. So, how does this actually work? Thank you very much!</p>

  I think only the symbols shown in your diagram are the available ones in after effects. If you make three temporal keyframes:
  
  1. linear
  2. easy ease
  3. auto bezier
  
  Then change the middle one (2) to be a hold keyframe, you'll see one of the hybrid examples shown (hold ease in).
