Animate with keyframes, motion paths and rolling credits

Applies to 0.11Updated 29 Oct 20262 min read

Click the stopwatch next to a setting in Effect Controls to add a keyframe, move the playhead and change the value. Rolling end credits are under Properties › Animate.

Add keyframes

1. Select a clip and open Effect Controls.
2. Click the stopwatch (Animate) next to a setting such as Position or Scale. This adds the first keyframe.
3. Move the playhead and change the value. A new keyframe is added.

Each row has buttons to add or remove a keyframe and to go to the previous or next one, a Keyframe interpolation choice and Reset.

Ease and speed

The velocity graph shows under the value graph. Drag a handle up or down to change the speed, or sideways to change how long the ease lasts.

Motion path

When a clip's Position has two or more keyframes, its path shows as a dotted line in the Program Monitor. Drag the squares to reshape it.

Keep intros and outros when you trim

In Properties › Animate › Responsive Design – Time, set the Intro and Outro. The in and out animation stays the same length when you trim a title.

Rolling credits

In the same place, choose Roll and Roll up through the frame. Set whether it starts and ends off screen, the preroll and postroll, and the ease in and out.
