Preparing animations
First, select the object in the arranger to animate. For complex animations,
we recommend placing a marker beforehand for orientation.
In the Media Pool, open the "Effects" tab and click on the effect you would
like to animate under "Video effects" or "Movement effects".
If necessary, set up the effect however you would like it for the start of the
animation.
Using this button, at the bottom of the Media Pool, a timeline may be
shown or hidden. You can see here which animated effects are
currently applied to the selected object. Keyframes may be placed,
selected, moved, and deleted.
There are two stippled lines in the
timeline to help you orientate yourself
while you edit movement. These lines
will help you recognize the start or end
of the transition.
Place keyframe
Click the timeline to set the playback marker at the locations where a
keyframe should be added.

Note: You can also use the timeline in the arranger for exact positioning.
Using project markers (view page 102) is recommended in this case.
This button places keyframes for all parameters required in the
animation.
Additional keyframes may be added simply by placing the playback marker
at the next keyframe location and changing the effects parameters directly.
The positioned keyframes may also be retroactively moved via drag & drop.
Copy keyframe
Select the keyframes to be copied by clicking them and then press
the "Copy" button.
Next, set the playback marker at the location for insertion and the
press the "Insert" button.
