Animation buttons

  • Move back and forth between keys.
  • Sets a key at current frame.
  • Delete current keyframe. If the delete key button is greyed out, there is no key at the current frame.

  • Reset image position/rotation/zoom.
  • The red dots above the timeline shows where the keys are. Left click on a key will move the slider to that position. Right click will delete the key.

About keyframes

Keyframes are used to interpolate between animation positions.

Adding an animation to more slides

If more slides are selected when opening the animation tool, all of them will be added the current animation.

If the duration of a video clip is longer than the added animation, an additional keyframe will be added to that last frame of that clip.
