Get an overview of working with keyframes in Premiere Pro.
To animate a property means change its value over time. In Premiere Pro, effect properties can be animated by assigning keyframes to them.
A keyframe marks the point in time where you specify a value, such as spatial position, opacity, or audio volume. To create a change in a property over time, you set at least two keyframes—one keyframe for the value at the beginning of the change and another for the value at the end of the change. Premiere Pro then creates a gradual change in values between keyframes, called interpolation.
Keyframes in the Effect Controls panel
You can work with keyframes in the Effect Controls panel. It lists all the effects applied to the currently selected clip - fixed effects, such as Motion and Opacity, in the Video Effects section and the Volume effect in the Audio Effects section.
Keyframes in the Timeline panel
You can also work with keyframes in the Timeline panel. When you select the clip that contains the effect or property, you can view the keyframes to add, move, and delete them as needed.
