What is Keyframe?

A frame in a timeline that marks the start or end of a transition or animation.

What is it?

A keyframe defines a specific value for a property (like position, opacity, or scale) at a specific point in time. The software then interpolates the values between keyframes to create smooth motion.

Why it matters

Keyframes are the building blocks of all motion graphics and visual effects. Without them, everything would be static.

How to use it

To zoom in on a video, set a keyframe for 'Scale' at 100% at the start, move the playhead forward, and set another keyframe at 150%.
