Keyframes part 1
Apply and adjust transformations using keyframes and transform properties, motion paths, and more.
Learning Outcomes:
- Apply transformations using keyframes
- Adjust motion paths and interpolation
- Utilize the graph editor effectively
Level: Intermediate
Skills you'll gain:
After Effects, Keyframing, Interpolation, Animation
Key Insights
- Keyframes require at least two points to function.
- Use the playhead to determine when effects start.
- Clicking the stopwatch enables keyframing but doesn't add keyframes.
- Keyboard shortcuts J and K navigate between keyframes.
- Spatial interpolation refers to changes in position.
- Bezier interpolation allows for curved motion paths.
- Continuous Bezier connects handles for smooth transitions.
- Non-continuous Bezier allows independent handle adjustments.
- Keyframe properties like scale and opacity simultaneously.
- Animating the end property creates drawing effects.
