That Auto Bezier to Linear fix is a lifesaver..... been fighting with that for ages!

[@aaronavila]

Holy, that 'pin to clip' setting just blew my mind, good tips. Also, not being able to move time remap keyframes is annoying

[@vooshmoozik6185]

this is a function better suited for after effects

[@VideoRevealed]

Glad you liked it.

[@VideoRevealed]

Any animation is better in After Effects but learning it ain't easy for a lot of editors.

[@JackSather]

SAME

[@DIEGO.L]

Man, I've been fighting against position changes making random increases between keyframes. Hope I knew about linear spatial keyframes 4 years ago. Thank you very much

[@gdkermit9953]

The wandering keyframes segment was the biggest help! I've been dealing with this issue for months and did not think to look at the Spatial Interpolation section.

[@jaredcrimm3472]

I've had that wandering keyframes issue so many times and it kept messing with my stuff, but this has been so helpful! I forgot that the spatial interpolation setting was even there.

[@mattsadams]

This gave me enough of a clue to figure out what was going on and fix the problem. Essentially I was easing in/out on the scale and crop keyframes when I really needed to hold them. Thanks for the insights, definitely helped.

[@Soop518]

I CANNOT thank you enough. The understanding of Auto-Bezier and Linear has solved my most FRUSTRATING years-long problem. THANK YOU SIR !!

[@jebibibop9134]

Number 4 fixed my issue which was driving me nuts! Thanks so much! I really like the clear way you explain things 😊

[@IgnasSkudrickas]

I work on Premiere Pro for about 5 years for now and still learned two new tips from you (Hold Key, and spatial setting, which solver my issue with moving text on it's on. Thank you a lot :) And I like you organic and playful communication style :)

[@SeynYT]

Oh god thanks a lot you're a hero. I've had that issue with wandering keyframes since a loooooooong time and I had to manually correct EVERY keyframe each time. It was so time consuming. Thanks a lot mister !

[@saleemc.k6239]

I WAS BLOWING MY MIND THAT WHERE MY KEYFRAME GONE, AND THEN THERE YOU ARE. THANKS SIR

[@BluesTheCreator]

THNAK YOU!! The wandering keyframes were killing my motivation because the scale would stay linear but the positioning was messing with my video. Just saved me!!

[@ronnalyr]

Thank you soooooo much for the spatial interpolation - Linear tip! It was driving me crazy for years

[@Yikesee]

that linear spatial interpolation tip was extraordinarily helpful, i was losing my mind, thank you!

[@VideoRevealed]

Great to hear!

[@JoeMamaGames]

Thank you sooooooooo much! I've been editing for ages and never knew about spatial keyframes... they have caused me SO many headaches lmao. Cheers!

[@BartSchreuder5]

Spatial interpolation! Again you point me at something i (probably was too lazy to read in the manual) ... never understood and fought like you did:) Thanks again Colin!

[@VideoRevealed]

I don't think the manual explains it in simple terms so it's not your fault.

[@dhtvdigital]

I watched 3 videos and read four posts before finding your video with a great explanation of the image drift that happens when keyframing and with the wrong 'spatial interpolation' settings. thank you sir.

[@VideoRevealed]

Glad it helped!

[@Mr.Briansss]

Just wow sir! It is sad that I saw your video after 2 years. Thanks a lot.

[@toms2145]

I have a good understanding of key frames (because of your videos), but ‘Pin to Clip’ …. what a game changer. Thank you. ✌️❤️

[@VideoRevealed]

Thanks for your support Tom.

[@Initial_War]

I was having trouble with my keyframes having a weird up and down motion thank God this video exists I don't know why I would automatically set to bezier when I've been using linear keyframes doesn't matter at least I know how to troubleshoot it

[@sjmtechnicalmedialtd402]

Colin, Big thanks for this video; I've watched a lot of your content and it's always intelligent and comprehensible. I've been doing technical imaging professionally for nearly 40 years and burn my sad life away these days in front of banks of video monitors. One thing that regularly drives me NUTS is the odd keyframe that slips outside a trimmed clip and causes weird 'creep' at the end. My own solution is to create a new track, drag the footage up and open it longer (to avoid buggering up everything else in the edit...), then finding and deleting the offending point and returning everything to its original edit. I had no idea that there was a simple solution to this, so my genuine thanks and respect mate. Your solution is SO MUCH SIMPLER AND QUICKER. This highlights two things (which I regularly vent to students of the craft...): 1. Never assume you know it all; take the time to watch tutorials, and 2. Why on earth is the vast Adobe corporation no longer able to produce a printable PDF with these sort of things in a searchable index? Live long and prosper! John M.

[@VideoRevealed]

Thanks John. I used to work for Adobe for 17+ years. I was amazed one day long ago when they got rid of all the technical writers. The existing PDF user guides are filled with inaccurate an old information. What a shame. Adobe just pushes users to other users for help.

[@renzoquiroga5033]

Thank you, thank you, thank you, the linear info was life saving!

[@blackburn1489]

the great video as always) wow, I didn't expect that you made those animations in PR, not AE.

[@VideoRevealed]

I like to stay away from After Effects as much as possible so I can keep my sanity. 😋

[@Senzu15]

BIG thank you for this tutorial. I was also struggling with many of those things (like hold movement and clicking additional key frames to stop the animation) :D

[@spebat]

#4 illuminated a problem that's been vexing me & giving me headaches for yeears!

[@VideoRevealed]

Happy to help.

[@CroissantBenoit]

12:14 OH MY GOD THANK YOU, exactly what I was looking for, I have been editing for wayyyy too long always zooming way in every time to get my playhead to be right on top of a keyframe I want to ajust.

[@kevprange]

I've been using the software for 10 years and this is the first I've heard of "pin to clip." This will make editing keyframes at the tail end of clips much easier.

[@VideoRevealed]

It's an easy one to miss.

[@ChannelBecauseIHave2]

Jus noticed you added your YT silver award to your set background. Nice.

[@VideoRevealed]

Thanks for noticing. I spend way too much time creating and rendering these backgrounds though. 😅

[@steveh718]

15:21 THAT is what I needed! That spatial vs temporal settings have always confused me.

[@VideoRevealed]

It's confused a lot of us.

[@19Biohazard88]

You helped me find the problem, thanks

[@dvdmessage]

No4 Wandering key frames, I thought I was going mad, I can so relate to adding extra key frames. Great video and a big linear thank you. 👍

[@VideoRevealed]

Glad it was helpful!

[@DoubleTFishing]

Wow!! That is soooooo much help, thank you!!

[@VideoRevealed]

You're welcome!

[@muddrox887]

Thank you. I was getting so bugged wondering why my objects were wandering unpredictably between frames.

[@simplesimon755]

Thanks so much for posting this video. Keyframes sometimes infuriate me, especially #4 on your list. I knew I must have been doing something wrong but like you I always just made a bunch of little "fixes" which never quite worked right. This is a video I'll likely return to a few times until I can burn all these tips into my noggin. Thanks again!

[@VideoRevealed]

You and me both buddy.

[@marcgothic]

Thanks Colin . . . very informative!

[@VideoRevealed]

Thanks Marc.

[@kokopellienglish]

VERY appreciated, sir. Thank you.

[@VideoRevealed]

You're welcome.

[@RobinLights]

Thanks Colin.. This is so helpful

[@VideoRevealed]

My pleasure!

[@GeorgeLamson]

Great video as always. "Pin to clip" is a life saver. Could you please do a video some time on keyframes and speed ramping. Oh and also on how keyframes work when you cut a clip after adding key frames. Thanks.

[@VideoRevealed]

Keyframes remain on the clip where they were added. If you cut a clip that has a keyframe, it will travel with the clip. And here's your tutorial for speed changes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHPHXppjermZh5Y And and update to speed changes: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHewo4tmlNdrd8k

Always something to learn. THANK YOU!

As always, excellent teaching. Thanks

[@VideoRevealed]

You are very welcome

[@rainerwahnsinn9423]

Thank you very much for this excellent video! I have one more question to the first problem as I`m currently having issues with it. Why is it still desplaying the former length of the clip in the effect controls when you trimmed the clip? It makes it much more difficult to work with it as I am not interested in the former length when I shortened the clip. And one more thing. When I drag the player head to the last position in the effect controls panel I jump out of the clip by one frame. I need to use the cursor buttons to jump one frame back to be on the last frame of the clip. Is this avoidable somehow?

[@cactusstudiossouth]

HELLO COLIN! What is the, "KEYBOARD SHORTCUT" to drop a KEYFRAME on my AUDIO TIMELINE?

[@petr_zacharias_homeopatie]

Please, I need some advice, please. When highlighting text and setting keyframes for the CROP function, the highlight starts to expand beyond the keyframes. This means that the highlight begins 2 seconds after the first keyframe and ends halfway between the keyframes. I have no idea what to do. Do you have any idea what I might be doing wrong?

[@Clifton100]

Great tips, Colin. Thanks.

[@VideoRevealed]

You're welcome.

[@uwesoltau4923]

To practice all that will keep me off the street for another week. Thanks

[@VideoRevealed]

We all need some way to keep us out of trouble. 😉

[@sulawase]

hi there, i have a serious problems, the keyframes are moved by itself when i did render or reopen the app.. it moved forward 5-10 second, and it always happened when i add 2 or more effect on 1 clips, please help me to resolve that

[@christianloudet7909]

Great tuto Thanks thanks thanks ! You solved many problems for me. 👍🏻😃

[@VideoRevealed]

Glad it helped!

[@resslerartstudios]

Hi Colin...great one!

Gooooooood info as always!!!

[@VideoRevealed]

[@pizall1440]

"pin to clip" That is a good one.

[@VideoRevealed]

It sure is.

[@EvanFotis]

is there a way to save transform keyframes for text shape as a preset? I want to save a text In and out animation preset respecting the mask with shape function. When i try to save it it does not allow to select just position property but the text itself which also applies the text wording as well, and if I use a transform effect it applies it to the whole graphic overwriting the mask with shape function.

[@JackSather]

Dude you just saved my editing life. and i edit SO damn much. can't WAIT to use these editing my next video!

[@VideoRevealed]

That's wonderful.

[@R0NIIN405]

HI, someone can help me with my problem? i make keyframe position animation and scale, i save the project but when i open later, the position or scale animation dont save. "sorry for my bad english" anyone?

[@GameTacoFTW]

I've had all of these problems! The most frustrating was definitely the "wandering keyframes". I added a bunch of keyframes to try and fix it before, but that usually made things worse. I still don't understand why the fix works or what spatial interpolation does. I just know what option to click to make it go away. Lol

[@VideoRevealed]

Yep, Spatial is going to be in my back pocket from now on.

[@OliviaVessel]

This video is amazing, thank you!!! I'm having a weird keyframe problem I haven't experienced before. I added two keyframes, one in a wide framing, and one in a close-up, for a slow continuous zoom-in. But one frame after the last keyframe, the video is continuing to zoom in! I've checked and checked for other hidden keyframes, none. I've removed all keyframes, shut down, rebooted, re-added keyframes, etc, and the problem persists. On ALL my keyframes throughout my project, regardless of the effect I'm trying to achieve or the footage I'm editing. One frame after the last keyframe continues moving. When I look at the position and scale numbers, they don't change! But the video is moving. If you have any tips about this glitch/issue I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks!!

[@VideoRevealed]

That sounds very odd and I've never experienced that. If you contact me, I'll take a closer look at it. videorevealed.com/contact/

[@ratiohinge8029]

I have same problem to with adobe premiere 2022 , if scale or potition keyframe , iam change to the into new coordinat point the layer still not moving follow according the new set point , if iam render out still same , the bad condition my laptop cant available setting cuda GPU accelaration on general setting project , this the worst case very annoying , just on premiere but not in the after effect Now i still search for alternative way mybe not using premiere 2022 ,or downgrade to low version

[@VideoRevealed]

Unfortunately your description isn't clear enough for me to recommend a solution.

[@dpgedward5947]

Rather than copy the valves move and snap the CTI to a keyframe and just select any other keyframe and drag and snap to CTI

[@VideoRevealed]

Ok.

Pin to clip… 🤦‍♂️

It's a good, hidden, feature for sure.

[@owaishassan8121]

your evey lecture are so long like more then 20 mints :/ plz make it short like 8 to 10 mints peoples dont have time to watch all the video thats why i didnot follow you now

[@CTSCAPER]

Thanks, Colin! I'm here because I had the classic wandering keyframes. Soooo frustrating.

[@queencityminis]

I can't even see the key frames. I clicked my mouse and they disappeared. I can't see any space to add a key frame. I don't know how to explain this. It's like half the window is gone.

[@stackstudios]

I'm so glad to finally have an answer for that wondering keyframe issue! I've been so frustrated over trying to compensate for the wondering. Thank you, Colin!

[@MIVIDEOO]

hye collin! i cant seem to find a video that you did about keyframes: how to pin keyframes to start and end of videos so when you extend the video the keyframes will follow, if you can add a link it will be amazing ! thank you

[@MrRataPamPam]

Very helpful! Thank you so much!

[@mynameiscorenhel]

your videos is always helpful thank you

[@tedteoofficial]

Is there a way to set spatial interpolation to linear by default? It's driving me crazy that I have to change it every time!

[@VideoRevealed]

Unfortunately, there is no way.

[@Dronesey]

Some really helpful insights!!!

[@VideoRevealed]

Thanks.

[@starkwedder9787]

Mah I ask something that has nothing to do with key frames ? The final result of my videos has always been a dvd, where an initial Menu would allow the viewer to jump to the section of the video he wished to see. Is there a way to do something similar now that dvd are out of fashion ?

[@VideoRevealed]

Videos themselves cannot contain any type of controls or interactivity. DVDs were controlled by the player. Videos can be opened in any number of players and platforms but all those players just open a video. The only way to control what a user sees is to provide an interactive environment like a web page with JavaScript interactivity or create an app which is way beyond my capabilities.

[@starkwedder9787]

Thank you for your ansierà. I am surprised to find that perplesso does not feel this as a strong requirement an as a serious loss from the dvd times …

[@t_age]

thank god i found this

[@casajump]

5:04 Thank you!

[@MinnesotaStarLive]

Pin-To-Clip and Ken Burns Effect. Yes! As I watched this unfold in your tutorial, it hit me... All these years I've been creating the classic "Ken Burns" effect (giving motion to still graphics, photos) where I want to have their motion continue as I dissolve-thru to the next clip -- and I extended the clip with motion so the keyframe was at the end; then I trimmed the clip shorter, maintaining the keyframe on the disappeared clip ending -- well, that's the poor man's way I did it. NOW, I get it! I'm doing the opposite of what you advise in this tutorial when I want a Ken Burns effect. I create the length of clip I want. Get into the effects motion keyframes. Do the desired motions, then turn off Pin-to-Clip, expand the "Zoom Bar" on the bottom of the keyframe palette, and place my end-motion keyframe(s) out there. The end result is the motion in my clip continues thru and beyond the transition to the next clip on the timeline. I suppose this is a kludgy explanation, but I was elated by this discovery of mine thanks to your tutorial and then thought you might have already addressed this in a previous Video Revealed. Anyhow... thanks!

[@VideoRevealed]

Thant's exactly why Adobe added this feature. It was a huge request from Final Cut Pro 7 users who wanted that functionality. I've added that to a future tutorial list!

[@oo0Spyder0oo]

Well I wasn’t aware that resizing a clip would leave a key frame hanging out there like that, assumed all key frames would be pulled in when you trimmed it, maybe they could make it an option to check so it doesn’t happen. Good to know, thanks.

[@VideoRevealed]

Hmmm, I'm not sure how that would affect the animation though. It would definitely jump to the last keyframe.

[@citrustrail]

Whoa, wasn't expecting a free 6th tip, great lesson, thank you.

[@VideoRevealed]

Glad it was helpful!
