Slide-in text animations
Keyframe a text layer from off-screen to its final position to create a clean, professional slide-in title. No animation presets needed.
Keyframe Animation
Animate anything on your timelinewith precision.
KineMaster's Keyframe tool lets you animate the position, scale, rotation, opacity, and effect parameters of any layer. Set two keyframes and KineMaster creates the change between them automatically.
- Animate 5 properties — Position, Scale, Rotation, Opacity, Effects
- Set two keyframes — KineMaster interpolates between them automatically
- Non-destructive — original layer preserved
What it does
Animation for every kind of layer
A keyframe locks a property, position, size, rotation, opacity, or effect property, at a specific point in time. Set a second keyframe with a different value and KineMaster automatically interpolates the motion between them. Beyond basic motion, you can also keyframe Alpha (Opacity), Effect layers, and Chroma Key parameters.
- Animate 8+ properties — Position, Scale, Rotation, Opacity, Filters, Adjustments, Corner Pin, Speed Controls, and more.
- Keyframe precisely with the Transform tool
- Non-destructive — original layer preserved
- Works on all layer types
How to use
How to use Keyframe Animation
Five steps from layer to smooth animation: set two keyframes, let KineMaster do the rest.
- Step 1
Add a layer
Add a layer to the Timeline — media, text, sticker, handwriting, or effect.
- Step 2
Open Keyframe tool
Tap the layer to select it, move the playhead to where you want a keyframe, and tap the Keyframe button on the left side of the Editing screen.
- Step 3
Set the first keyframe
Tap the layer to select it, move the playhead to where you want a keyframe, and tap the Keyframe button on the left side of the Editing screen.
- Step 4
Set the second keyframe
Move the playhead point. Tap the Keyframe button again to create a second keyframe. Change the layer's position, size, or rotation to the desired value.
- Step 5
Play back the animation
KineMaster smoothly interpolates the motion between the two keyframes.
Use cases
Three ways creators use Keyframe Animation
From slide-in titles to logo branding and dynamic compositing, there are unlimited creative directions.
Logo fade in and out
Keyframe a logo layer's Alpha (opacity) from 0% to 100% on entry and back to 0% on exit for smooth, broadcast-style branding.
Dynamic compositing
Keyframe a layer's position to follow a moving subject across the frame. Then, attach graphics, callouts, or overlays to action in your footage.
FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about keyframeable properties, effects support, and non-destructive editing.
Which properties can I keyframe?
You can keyframe position, scale, rotation, Alpha (opacity), and Effect layer intensity.
Can I keyframe effects, not just layer movement?
Yes. KineMaster's Keyframe tool supports Effect layer properties in addition to basic transform properties.
How do I delete a specific keyframe?
Tap the keyframe marker on the timeline to jump the playhead to it. Then, tap the delete keyframe button on the left side of the Editing screen.
Is keyframe animation non-destructive?
Yes. Keyframes are applied on top of the original layer. Removing all keyframes restores the layer to its original state.
Can I use easing or curves for smoother motion?
Yes. Move the playhead between two keyframes and tap the keyframe graphs button on the left side of the Editing screen. For curve-based speed transitions on clips, see Speed Curve. Keyframe interpolation between two keyframes uses linear motion by default.
