Key Insights
- Keyframes require at least two points for animation.
- Use the playhead to determine when animations start.
- Keyframe properties include position, scale, rotation, and opacity.
- Clicking the stopwatch enables keyframing but does not add keyframes.
- Utilize keyboard shortcuts J and K to navigate keyframes.
- Understand spatial vs. temporal interpolation for animations.
- Bezier curves allow for smoother motion paths.
- Keyframe the end property to create drawing animations.
- Anchor points affect the positioning of layers in compositions.
