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.
