This wikiHow teaches you howtoaddkeyframesinAfterEffects. Keyframes are used in animation to change the properties of an object over time. Keyframes can be used to make objects move, rotate, change size, or change opacity. You can also apply keyframes to other effects you add in AfterEffects.
Click the stopwatch next to whichever property you want to animate to set your first keyframe. Move the playhead forward, change the property value, and AfterEffects automatically adds another keyframe. The animation happens between those two points. Press U to reveal all keyframes on your selected layer.
Open Effect Controls (Window → Effect Controls), find the effect setting you want to animate, and click the stopwatch to create a keyframe. How do I copy and paste keyframes? Select one or more keyframes, press Ctrl+C (Windows) or Cmd+C (Mac), move the playhead to the desired time, and press Ctrl+V (Windows) or Cmd+V (Mac).
Keyframes are the foundation of animation in AfterEffects, allowing you to change values over time and bring your projects to life. In this guide, you’ll learn how to add and manage multiple keyframes for smooth transitions and complex animations. Ensure your project is ready to animate.
