Change Clips over Time

Jump In:

The changes that you’ve made to clips and titles can also be made to happen over time
as the movie plays. For example, a clip might move across the screen, or a title might
appear and then disappear. Final Cut Pro allows you to make many types of changes
over time.

To effect changes in a clip, you specify frames at which a change should occur. These
frames are called keyframes. For example, you might set a keyframe where a clip should
begin moving and then set another keyframe at the point in time when the clip should
stop. Next, you’ll try setting keyframes to see how this works.

Try This

Set keyframes and scale a clip up or down:
In the Timeline, position the playhead just after the end of the title clip, then double-click
