An In point is the first frame where a layer appears. An Out point is the last frame where the layer appears. We can specify where and when our spaceship – or any layer – appears by specifying In and Out points. There may be some layers that you only want to appear in certain parts of your composition. For example, perhaps we only want the spaceship layer in our composition to appear at the beginning as part of the introduction to our video. This saves time as you work on your composition. In addition, you can create parent/child layers as we did with text to animate several layers at once using the same animation. By using keyframes and increasing the scale value, you can make it seem like the camera is zooming in. You can also create rotation, scale, and opacity animation by following these exact same steps.
Move the playhead back to the beginning by hitting the Home key, then press the spacebar to view your animation. Now move the playhead to the location in your Timeline where you want to add the second keyframe. The location of this keyframe will be where the animation (which happens to be motion) ends. Once you move the playhead, adjust the values for Position.Īs you can see below, the spaceship was moved in our composition. Next, click the stopwatch beside Position, as circled below. This will add a keyframe.
Make sure your playhead is at the beginning of the time ruler. If it is not, click Home.
To do that, we are going to go to the Timeline panel.Ĭlick the triangle beside the layer that contains the object you want to animate. Then click the triangle beside Transform. Adobe After Effects: Animation TechniquesĪnimating objects in After Effects is not difficult once you understand the simple steps. For example, you can take any object in a composition, then make that object move across the screen by simply creating keyframes.
