$9.99
A keyframe is a point of change during playback. If nothing changes, then you never use keyframes. When you need something to change â like an audio level, or the position of text â we use keyframes. And we always use keyframes in pairs; a starting position and an ending position.

TRAINING DESCRIPTION
A keyframe is a point of change during playback. If nothing changes, then you never use keyframes. When you need something to change–like an audio level, or the position of text–we use keyframes. And we always use keyframes in pairs; a starting position and an ending position.
Actually, Final Cut Pro X supports two different ways to animate clips: keyframes and built-in animation. In this session, you’ll learn about both. Join host Larry Jordan as he looks at how Final Cut Pro X implements animation and keyframes. Discover animation techniques like the Ken Burns effect, generator animation, text and title animation. Then, shift gears and get deep into customizing your animation with keyframes.
Learn what keyframes are, how to create them, and how to create a variety of effects using keyframes. If you are someone who has never understood keyframes, wants to discover faster ways to animate effects, or are just looking for new ways to create some cool effects, you need to join us for this session.
During this session you will learn:
- What keyframes are
- How to use the Ken Burns effect
