Key Insights

  • Keyframes require at least two points for interpolation.
  • Use the playhead to determine when animations start.
  • Keyframe properties include position, scale, rotation, and opacity.
  • Spatial interpolation refers to changes in X and Y axes.
  • Temporal interpolation involves timing changes over the duration.
  • Bezier curves allow for smoother transitions between keyframes.
