Do you want to take your animation to the next level? Have you ever dreamed of creating something that really stands out? With keyframes in After Effects, you can unlock a whole new world of creative possibilities! Let’s take a look at how to add keyframes to your animation.
Adding to the Animation Fun!
If you’re an animator, chances are you probably already have a good handle on how keyframes work. For those who are still new to the concept, keyframes are markers in time that tell After Effects when and where to begin and end a certain action. For example, if your character needs to hop from left to right, you’ll need to add two keyframes – one for when the character begins the hop and one for when the character stops hopping.
Unleashing Keyframes in After Effects
To add a keyframe in After Effects, all you have to do is go the timeline and hover your mouse over the parameter you want to animate, then click the stopwatch icon. This will add a keyframe in the timeline. You can then move your playhead further down the timeline, adjust the parameter, and add another keyframe. And just like that, you have a basic animation that you can tweak in more detail.
Keyframes in After Effects offer endless possibilities for creative animations. With just a few clicks you can add a keyframe to your timeline and begin crafting something truly unique. So, have some fun and unleash your creative side with keyframes today!
