DR - Keyframing
- Nikola Mateja
Keyframing allows you to animate any adjustments you make to your clips - colour grade, transformations, effects and more.
 OPEN KEYFRAME TIMELINE  | Make sure to have your keyframe timeline open by clicking on that icon on the right side of the screen.
To expand the timeline and have more flexibility, click on the icon in the right top corner. |
The keyframe timeline will have as many Corrector layers as your nodes, and they correspond to the number on the node. | |
Select the node you want to put the keyframes on, check its number and navigate to the corresponding Corrector. Click on the down arrow to gain access to different aspects that you can keyframe.

In this case, I would like to make the clip go from saturated to Black and White (0% saturation). This change will be applied in the Color Corrector. Click on the diamond next to it, to be able to add keyframes to that layer only. It will turn red. If you applied specific Effect that you’d like to keyframe, there will be a layer dedicated to it. | |
Move to point where you’d like to begin the change. Right-click the layer and click on Add Static/Dynamic Keyframe.
STATIC KEYFRAME - abrupt change from one state to another. DYNAMIC KEYFRAME - animates the change over time.
This will create a keyframe (the diamond) on the Color Corrector Layer as well as on the Master and the Corrector Layer. | |
Move to the point of the clip where you’d like the change to finish. Apply the change in the colour wheels (or settings in case of effects). In this case I will drop the Saturation to 0.00. This will automatically create a new keyframe on the layer.
The grey triangles going from the diamonds into the centre symbolise the smooth transition used in the Dynamic Keyframing. |
