Hello. In today's lesson, we'll examine the process of animating graphics in Premiere Pro. Graphics animation can be done in Premiere Pro using templates and customizing them or creating graphic elements and type directly in the application. In both cases, there are some fixed effects that can be modified and keyframed over time to create motion. Fixed effects of those found in the effects control panel of every graphic element. Motion, including position, scale, rotation, anchor point, opacity, and time remapping and of course, for audio tracks, there is volume. These exist for every type of graphic or video clip you have in Premiere Pro. Each of these effects controls has a stopwatch symbol next to it. When activated, it will create keyframing. So the switch is on, a key frame gets created at the current position settings. Any keyframe created here can animate the parameter selected and many parameters can be simultaneously keyframed. So an object can change position, rotate, change opacity, speed up or slow down as desired. Keyframes themselves can be modified at any time, and interpolated, meaning that the keyframed motion can gradually reach full speed and gradually slow down, reflect motion in the real world, or if desired, drastically depart from it. When I enter into the graphics workspace, I can see in the browse tab that I can choose the Adobe Stock tab and I'll select the free checkbox. The channel intro opener appears at the top. I'll click and drag it into the timeline. I'll play it through. There you can see there's very quick circles that appear and animation appears on this whole thing. If I click on the flip itself, I can see in the effects controls, and also in the edit tab that there are multiple layers and those multiple layers have even had some keyframes applied. These small dots that you see, these series of them indicate that there have been keyframes created. So if I were to twirl down the shape for example, you can see that there are these two keyframes here, and these two key frames here. These affect in this case, scale. This shape here indicates that this keyframe has been interpolated. So if I right click on it, you can see it has a Bezier interpolation, meaning that there is a motion curve that gets created that gradually builds up speed and gradually slows down speed. We will cover this a bit more in depth in a upcoming lesson. In this lesson, you've learned a little bit about how you can animate graphics in Premiere Pro.
