The begin property define when the animate element should start.
Define it as default (0s starts on document load) or indefinite, or as a list of :

syncbase item to begin the animation when another ends or begins.
Select the animate element, the event type begin or end and define the time offset.
repeat item to begin the animation when another repeats.
Select the animate element, define the repeat count and the time offset.
event item to begin the animation when the user click on an element.
Select the element from the drawn list (by default the target element), the event type (click,..) and define the time offset.
The synchronization can be controlled with the animations schedule dialog.

See specifications.

See specifications.
Similar to the duration property, the min property specify the minimum value of the active duration (including repetitions).
