Keyframe Animation for Beginners and Pros

Adding keyframes in Filmora is seamless and looks like this:
1. Launch Filmora and import media files.
2. Add the clip to the Timeline and find a spot to add a keyframe.
3. Place the play head at the spot. Then, tap the Keyframe button or hit ALT + Left Click.

Deleting keyframes is even easier than adding them:
1. Locate the keyframe you want to remove.
2. Once you see the blue Diamond button, click on it to delete a keyframe.
3. You can also choose the Delete Keyframe option by right-clicking on a keyframe in the Timeline.

Yes, you can, and here's how:
1. Right-click on the keyframe in the Timeline that you want to copy.
2. Select the Copy Keyframe option.
3. Move the Playhead, right-click the Timeline > Key Frame > Paste Keyframe.
4. You can paste the keyframe as many times as you like.

Of course! Keyframing isn't restricted to video and audio tracks only. You can also apply it to other elements, including texts and titles, effects, stickers, split screens, and more.

Using the Curves (actually something called value graph curves) in the Filmora keyframe panel, you can make precise adjustments to the temporal property keyframes you've created for your animation. The value graph curve visualizes the changes in certain values over time. For example, when the value graph curve is set to be linear, the object will move at a constant speed. When the value graph is set to be easy ease, the object will move at a variable speed. The steeper the curve, the faster the speed.

Keyframes have been available since Filmora X, with Filmora 13 being the first version to receive temporal interpolation keyframes. Similarly, spatial interpolation keyframes are available with Filmora 15 and newer versions.

A video frame is a single still image from a sequence of many. At the same time, a keyframe marks the first and last video frames during which a particular object property change will be present, such as its position, scale, or other animation effect.

Keyframing plays a pivotal role in video editing. It lets users create dynamic and natural-looking transitions and animations while giving them precise control over an object's movement and timing.

As a motion graphics artist or an editor, you'll likely need full access to keyframes and their different types, which you can find in Wondershare Filmora, Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, CapCut, and various other editors. However, not all keyframe types are available in all video editing programs, with most software solutions focusing only on linear, freeze, and curve keyframes.

Yes. After adding keyframes, go to Video > Basic > Motion Blur and enable the feature. This adds natural motion blur to your keyframe animations, making movement smoother and more dynamic.

Video motion blur is mainly used for fast motion already captured in the original footage, adding blur to make the movement look more natural. Keyframe motion blur, on the other hand, applies to animations created with keyframed properties such as position, scale, or rotation, automatically adding blur to the movement between keyframes. You can turn motion blur on or off at any time and adjust parameters such as shutter angle, phase, and samples.

Motion blur works best with keyframe animations that involve noticeable movement in position, scale, or rotation, such as text fly-ins, image push-ins and zooms, logo rotations, object swings, and fast transitions. This feature is available on desktop only (Windows and Mac).
