ADDING VIDEO TRANSITIONS AND MOTION CHP. 15
Adding keyframes
Every effect has a starting keyframe at the beginning (left side) of the keyframe controller. This sets the
initial parameters for the effect. In order to animate the effect, you must add another keyframe to the effect
and change some of the parameters. When you first add a new keyframe, it has the same settings (for the
transition, effect, pan/crop, etc.) as the first keyframe. You can then modify the settings of the new keyframe
to create the animation from the first keyframe settings to the second.
1.
Click the keyframe controller timeline to move the cursor where you want to add a keyframe. The current
position is marked by a blinking cursor.
2.
Click the Create Keyframe button ( ).
3.
Modify the settings in the window for the new keyframe as desired.
Tip:
You can also add a new keyframe by positioning the
cursor in the keyframe controller and changing any
parameters in the window. A keyframe is added with the new
settings at the cursor position.
Deleting keyframes
