Working with keyframes
only transform keyframes to the Transform track, and load only crop
settings to the
Crop track.
¦NoteAny keyframes presently on the track will be replaced by the loaded
keyframes.
Interpolating between keyframes
Interpolating between two or more consecutive keyframes on the same track
enables you to create a gradual transition from one keyframe’s settings to the
next.
In the following sections we explain:
• How interpolation works.
• Considerations for creating an interpolation sequence.
• Linear and spline interpolation.
• How to turn interpolation on and off.
How interpolation works
Interpolations are performed between different settings for an effect. For
example, if you defined a size of 25% at the start of a clip and a size of 100% at
the end of the clip, interpolating between the two keyframes makes your clip
gradually increase in size from 25% up to full-screen size.
The speed of the transition between two consecutive keyframes depends on the
amount of space (time) between them. For example, if you have a large amount
of space between keyframes, the transition will occur slowly. Alternately, if your
keyframes are close together, the transition will occur quickly.
Interpolation is supported for all of the Matrox effects for which you can create
keyframes, except that you can’t interpolate between:
•
Tile Patterns and Global Tile Settings on the Custom 3D Tiles page.
• Border Type on the Custom Advanced DVEs page.
• Preserve luminosity and Affect specific tonal range on the Custom
Color Corrections
page.
• Photo negative on the Custom Colorizations page.
• Invert key on the Custom Luma Keys page.
• Invert mask on the Custom Mask DVEs page.
• Type on the Custom Page Curls page.
• Global Effect Settings on the Custom Particles page.
Considerations for creating an interpolation sequence
By default, a spline interpolation is set between consecutive keyframes created
on the same track. For an explanation of spline interpolation, see the next section.
