LESSON 9
Working with Adobe After Effects
Adding more animation
You have animated the layers so that they are off the screen at 0 seconds and enter from
the right. Now you will add keyframes to move them off the screen again.
1 In the Timeline window, move the current-time indicator to 03:00 (3 seconds).
2 Press the Ctrl key as you click the word Position underneath the layer name for the top
three layers.
3 Choose Animation > Add Keyframe.
A new keyframe is added to each layer; it has the same value as the keyframes in the 01:00
frame. You want the layers to stay in the same position from 01:00 to 03:00.
4 Click an empty area on the timeline to deselect the keyframes at 03:00. Then press the
Shift key as you select the three position keyframes at the 01:00 frame. Choose Animation
> Toggle Hold Keyframe.
You've ensured that the three layers will not change position until the next keyframe.
5 Click an empty area on the timeline to deselect the keyframes. Then move the current-
time indicator to the last frame of the composition (03:29).
6 Move the Title layer's position to the left (-40, 240).
