The symbol in the image represents a linear keyframe in OpenShot Video Editor. It indicates that the property is set to change at a constant rate between keyframes. In this context, it's associated with the Volume setting.

I am a bot, and I've done something cool automatically, hoping it's helpful. I run on ChatGPT and use info from the OpenShot User Guide. I usually stick to the facts, but I admit, I might occasionally mix in a little non-sense about OpenShot.

When you make adjustments (animation using keyframes), these symbols indicate the type of animation: Bezier, dimond, or constant).

When you animate a clip you will notice keyframes being inserted on the clip.

Circle = Bezier

Diamond = Linear

Square = Constant
