About move animations

Move animations allow motion to be played on individual layers during a transition. These movements allow a layer to move to desired positions or change size in a natural way. Animations can have part of the animation out of the active area.

How to move
  1. Click on the desired destination from the top panel or desired screen destination group from the bottom panel.
  2. Select the desired layer in the scene.

  3. Is the selected layer locked ()?

    • If yes, click the unlock icon () in the bottom panel and go to next step.
    • If no, go to next step.
    Note: If the layer is a split layer that is transitioned to program, then the layer must either be removed from program or program must be unlocked before it can be edited in preview.

  4. Add a keyframe using one of the following methods:

    • Click the Move button in the bottom panel. (Only available when the layer is transitioned to program.)
    • Click Add KF in the right panel.

    An outline target keyframe is created in the scene at the same position as the layer.

  5. Modify the desired number of frames the move animation must take in the right pane using one of the following methods: (optional)

    • Using the slider: drag the white ball over the slider until the desired amount is reached.
    • Entering a value: enter any desired value between 0 and 1999 in the input field.
    • Using the + and - buttons: click on the + to increase the value with one point and on the - to decrease the value with one point.
    Tip: By default the animation will take 30 frames.
