Another way to adjust the keyframe to give it a more natural feel is to right-click on the keyframe and select Keyframe Assistant > Easy Ease In from the menu that appears (or press Shift+F9 as shown in Figure 12, below). If we move the right keyframe closer to the left keyframe, that will accelerate the fade in animation. In this animation, the left keyframe is when the text begins to fade in from the left, and the right keyframe is when it's complete. The keyframes you see in Figure 11 represent the duration of the animation. Press the + (plus) key as desired to zoom in. The gray diamonds in the effects timeline on the right represent the current position of the animation keyframes. The Range Selector 1 you see in Figure 11 is the Adobe Bridge animation we just applied. Next, press U to reveal any keyframes that you've applied to the selected layer in After Effects. The diamonds in the effect timeline on the right represent the keyframes. The highlighted Source Name text indicates that the "What you will learn" text later is selected. To do so, make sure your layer is selected (the name of the layer should be highlighted in the Source Monitor, as shown in Figure 11, below).įigure 11.
