Where Keyframes Are Used

You will use keyframes for two kinds of different kinds of Effects in
Producer:
• Effects that create motion for Layers or Captions

• Effects that apply Adjustments to Layers or Captions

Each area uses the exact same keyframe interface, so you don’t have to
learn how to use keyframes in two different ways. The only differences
between these are the values you can adjust and the visual results you'll
see. Let’s start by looking at what each is designed to do:
• Effects that create Motion. These are used to create any kind of
motion for your layers or your captions. This is where you can
cause your layers/captions to pan, zoom, or rotate around the
slide. These types of effects are staples of most any show.

• Effects that create Adjustments. These options are used to
change the visual look of your layers or captions over time. This
gives you the ability to change the color, opacity, brightness, blur,
and other settings for your layers or captions as the slide plays.
With adjustment effects, you can cause objects to change color,
go in and out of focus, and other great looking changes.
In Chapter 15, Motion, you learned some of the basic elements of working
with keyframes. Let's recap some of those items; beginning with a more
detailed look at the all the tools you'll use to create effects using
keyframing.
