Keyframes, also called keyframes, are the basis of animation in After Effects. Aside from the timeline, the keyframe is the most important animation tool in After Effects.<\/p>\n
Keyframes are markers in time that let you tell After Effects where you want to change the value of a layer or effect property, such as position, opacity, scale, rotation, amount, particle count, color, and so on. By setting these “markers” and changing the values \u200b\u200byou create animation.<\/p>\n
Every project you do in After Effects is going to have a timeline. It is on this line that keyframes are added to create motion. The keyframes are configured in the Timeline panel, there we will indicate where our animation will start and where it will end.<\/p>\n
This is where the importance lies, since the keyframe is used in all kinds of properties and effects. They will not only allow us to move an object from one side to the other, rotate it or change its opacity. In any type of effect that we are going to use, we are going to need these keyframes.<\/p>\n
Now that we know what they are and why they’re important, it’s time to learn how to use them in After Effects. The first step will be to place ourselves in the timeline where we want the animation to start. We will choose the property that we want to change (position, opacity, rotation) and press the stopwatch or clock. Then we will move on the timeline to the minute or second that we want that animation or effect to last, we will adjust the value and another keyframe is automatically generated.<\/p>\n
In order for that second keyframe to be formed, you only have to modify the position, rotation, opacity values \u200b\u200bor the chosen effect. Remember that if you press the little clock again, you will erase all the work done on the animation of that object!!<\/strong><\/p>\n It is also important to know that you can select several keyframes at once by selecting rectangles or by clicking on them individually. We will see that they change to a yellow color. Thus, we can move the set or speed up and slow down the animation by redistributing them by dragging one from the end of the selection with Alt pressed.<\/p>\n On the other hand, if we are interested in repeat the values \u200b\u200bof a keyframe<\/strong>, no need to do it again. We can use the command Ctrl+C<\/strong> to copy and paste them later or even to another layer with Ctrl+V. if we want remove the keyframe by selecting it and pressing the delete key, it will be deleted.<\/strong><\/p>\n Keyframes, also called keyframes, are the basis of animation in After Effects.
