Read the first 6 Animation and Keyframes flashcards as text
What does the 'Wiggler' panel do in After Effects?
Answer: Adds random variation to selected keyframe property values over time
The Wiggler adds randomized keyframes to selected properties, creating organic variation over a time range.
Which interpolation type creates a smooth curve where the velocity is zero at the keyframe?
Answer: Easy Ease
Easy Ease sets both incoming and outgoing velocity to zero, creating smooth deceleration and acceleration at the keyframe.
What is 'Time Remapping' used for in After Effects?
Answer: Dynamically controlling the playback speed and direction of a layer over time
Time Remapping lets you keyframe a layer's playback speed, enabling slow motion, freeze frames, and reverse playback.
What does the 'Ease In' keyframe interpolation affect?
Answer: The animation decelerates as it arrives at the keyframe
Ease In slows the animation down as it approaches the keyframe, creating a smooth deceleration.
What is the 'Smoother' panel in After Effects used for?
Answer: Reducing the number of keyframes on a property by smoothing its value curve
The Smoother removes excess keyframes from a property, simplifying its animation curve while preserving the overall shape.
In After Effects, what does 'Separate Dimensions' for Position keyframes allow you to do?
Answer: Animate X, Y (and Z) axes independently with different interpolation curves
Separating dimensions breaks Position into individual axis properties, each with its own Graph Editor curve and keyframes.
