#ADDING KEYFRAMES IN FINAL CUT PRO PROFESSIONAL#
You don’t have to be a professional motion graphics artist to use keyframes for your videos.
Therefore, your first keyframe would be at 100% opacity, and your last keyframe would be set at 0% opacity. You would use keyframes to transition the opacity of your footage from 100% down to 0%. Let’s say you wanted to fade out a video. The farther apart the keyframes, the more gradual the transition will be, and the slower the overall movement will appear. Then, it will remain at this second value, until you place another keyframe to tell it to do otherwise. When two keyframes are placed side by side, the computer will fill in the information between these two set values, and it will gradually morph and finish the transition to whatever value your second keyframe is set to. Your first keyframe is the initial starting point where you lock in wherever your image currently is, and then, you follow it with a second keyframe that has an altered value. These points of transformation are represented by diamond icons in your timeline:įor any transition to happen, you always need to have two keyframes present.
The first keyframe you create on a timeline is where the given change starts to happen. You can use keyframes for altering any kind of image in many different ways. If you have a piece of footage and want it to slowly zoom in at the 3 second mark to emphasize something in your frame, but the shot was filmed stagnant, you can achieve this look using keyframes. Animation is all about movement and, by creating keyframes on your video or graphic, we are altering a chosen subject over a selected period of time by marking changes in value. Keyframes are a point in time where something changes. There is one element behind them all that is responsible for bringing those visuals to life: keyframes. Imagine every cool animated or motion graphic piece of media that you’ve ever seen.
