Key Insights
- Keyframes define specific moments in time for property changes.
- At least two keyframes are needed for animation.
- Use the playhead to determine when animations start.
- Keyboard shortcuts J and K navigate between keyframes.
- Spatial interpolation refers to changes in X and Y positions.
- Bezier interpolation allows for smooth, curved motion paths.
- The graph editor can help visualize keyframe transitions.
- Opacity, scale, rotation, and position can be animated simultaneously.
- Keyframe properties can be adjusted in the effect controls panel.
- Continuous and non-continuous Bezier handles affect motion dynamics.
