Animate a title with two keyframes

A static title can use a little movement. In Video Composition a title moves as soon as its Position has two keyframes. This tutorial animates the TUSSENIN title into place beside a photograph.

Steps

1. Select the title. In Video Composition, select the editable title next to your photograph and find Position in the inspector.
2. Add the first key. At zero seconds, set Position below where the title should end up. Click the diamond next to Position to add the first keyframe.
3. Add the second key. Move the playhead to two seconds and change Position. Because the track already has a key, the change adds the second key for you.
4. Play it. Check that both keys are on the track, then play the title as it moves into place.
5. Hold and save. Leave a calm hold at the end so the title is easy to read, and save the editable project.

Notes

• Values in the project: X 25 percent and Y 65 percent at 0 seconds, then Y 50 percent at 2 seconds with X unchanged, in a six-second composition.
• Only Position is keyed. Opacity is not animated in this lesson.
• The next lesson eases the same movement: Make a title settle with controlled easing.
• The photographs are generated assets from the TUSSENIN demonstration project, owned by Momentum Studios.
