Learn the basics of keyframes and how they’re used to adjust video properties over time in Adobe Premiere on iPhone.
Keyframes help you add movement and polish to your videos without complicating your workflow. Whether you’re creating subtle motion or one-of-a-kind transitions, keyframes give you precise control over how your media changes over time, all within Premiere on iPhone.
What are keyframes
When you set different property values, like position, opacity, or scale, at various points in a clip, Premiere adjusts the property over time based on those keyframes.
You can start by adding keyframes to a clip to create motion. They give you precise control without requiring complex tools, making it easy to create polished motion directly on your phone.
What you can do with keyframes
With keyframes, you can animate properties like position, scale, rotation, and opacity to bring movement and emphasis to your edits.
You can shape how motion feels by applying ease curves, helping animations start smoothly, slow down naturally, or feel more expressive. If you want to simplify an animation or start over, you can also remove keyframes at any time.
Together, these tools let you fine-tune motion so it supports your story instead of distracting from it.
When to use keyframes
Keyframes are useful when you want more control than presets allow. Use them to create subtle pan and zoom effects, guide attention across the frame, or add movement that keeps your videos visually engaging. Since keyframes work directly on your clips, you can experiment freely and adjust your motion as your edit evolves.
