Understanding keyframes
Aurora Edit uses keyframes to synchronize a clip’s video effects with the video and
audio. A keyframe is a set of characteristics defining the image at a specific instant
in time.
Keyframe characteristics include size, location, borders, drop shadow, and cropping
but do not include the video image, which resides on the video track.
After creating a video effect, you insert a keyframe to mark the effect’s location and
characteristics on the Timeline. All effects need at least one keyframe.
If you want the effect to play consistently through the clip, you only need one keyframe.
If you want the effect to change throughout the clip, continue to adjust characteristics
and insert keyframes throughout the clip as necessary.
Within the Video Effects Tool, some parameters are keyframeable and some are not.
That is, if a parameter is keyframeable, the parameter can change from one keyframe
