![]() ![]() Okay, so now the value here, I'm going to type in 300, just to give it a nice round number, the value there is 300. Because there's already a keyframe on that parameter earlier in the project, I don't have to manually set another keyframe right now, it'll automatically set that keyframe for me just by changing the value. So all I have to do now is just click and drag on this x value to move it to the right. And let's say at that point, I want to have the video beyond the right side of the frame. So I'll just move the playhead to the one second mark like that. Now let's say I want to move the playhead forward one second. ![]() So that's at the very beginning of the project. ![]() And if I move away, you can see there's a little yellow diamond there, that yellow diamond lets me know that on that frame, there is a keyframe. And I can just click it once to add a keyframe. So if I hover over this, I've got that little diamond. The way you add a keyframe is you just hover over here and you can see as I hover, I get a different kind of interface there. A keyframe is a way to say at this frame, at this position of the playhead on the very first frame of the project, I want the value of this parameter, this position parameter to be this, whatever I have here, in this case, the x value is negative 292.1, the y value is zero. Now in order to create an animation you have to create what's called a keyframe. And let's say that I want the animation to start there, and then move to the right, I want to take this video clip and move it to the right side of the frame. Okay, so it looks like I'm at about negative 290 ish, somewhere around there. With the playhead right there, what I'll do is I'll come up here to the inspector, I'm going to click and drag on the x value here, I'm just going to click and drag it to the left to move that video to the left side of the frame. The first thing I'm going to do is I'm going to move the playhead to the very beginning of the project to the very first frame. And you can see it's called laugh here as well. It's called "laugh", that's the name of the clip. And I'm seeing the parameters for it up here in the inspector, you can verify that. The way this works is I'm going to start by selecting the top clip because this is the one that I'm going to animate. Okay, so now it's easier to see that top clip.Īlright, so now what I want to do is just demonstrate the fundamentals of how an animation works in Final Cut Pro, and so we're going to set our first keyframes. I'll just select the clip here and go to the video inspector. And to make it easier to see this clip and reduce the distractions, I'm going to add a blur. And sure enough, you can see this other clip behind it. Okay, so now it's half the size that it was before. So with it selected, I'll go up to the inspector, and I'll go to the video inspector under transform under scale, I'm just going to change the scale percentage to 50%. So you can see that it's blocking the view of the clip underneath that that's the way it works in Final Cut Pro, but I can reveal that bottom clip just by reducing the size of this clip. And you can't see this background clip because the laughing clip is on top. So now it's behind the laughing clip here. And what I'll do is I'll just click and drag this one up like this, and as I drag it up, you can see that the magnetic timeline there reduces the position of this background clip. And that's called "compositing" when you start layering elements in your video project on top of each other. Okay, so I'm going to layer the Trinity clip on top of the other one. And the second clip is one we're going to use as a background, very simple video clip there. This first one is of my daughter, Trinity laughing. To demonstrate this, I have a couple video clips in a very simple project here. ![]() And by the way, if you've never worked with keyframes or animation before, that's totally fine because this video will cover the fundamentals, the very basics. Final Cut Pro has some great tools built into it help us do this kind of work. In this video I'll cover how to work with keyframes and animation in Final Cut Pro. This video demonstrates the basics of creating animations in Final Cut Pro, using keyframes. ![]()
