What IS a Keyframe?! (Tutorial)

[VidQueen Profile Private messageWebsite]

Hi Folks!

I've been asked by several people to put together a basic, basic, basic Keyframing tutorial. This is for people new to the program who have never even heard the term before. For those of you who already know about keyframing you could watch it too...and get a good laugh at my extremely amateurish stick figure drawing

Enjoy!

Hi Jennifer,

Welcome back.

No matter how much I learned, it is always a pleasure to watch your tutorials with your soothing voice.

Very nice Jennifer -- your daughter is very cute, but that stick figure WOW !!!!!!!
Well done as usual -- don't worry about your voice putting your husband to sleep - it works for all wives
One thing worth mentioning here is the fact that keyframes are not something that is Producer specific -- you will find them an all sorts of video editing and animation software so for those folks that think it is only Producer, you will find them in Sony Vegas, Blufftitler, Adobe Premiere etc.

So true, so true. In fact I cut my teeth on Keyframing in the mid 1990s with After Effects. Keyframing has been around for a long time and has been integrated into more animation/video production software programs than you can shake a stick figure at

Hi Jennifer
Nice to see you posting. Loved your stick figures, you have a cutie for a daughter and If you ever get around to do the same for Modifiers I would send a Million Dollars your way, I just have a mental block.
Thanks for Sharing
Ron
PS: I know a million isn't what it use to be!

John....did it help at all? I never really know how to approach these types of tutorials. Most of the time the person just wants to learn all of keyframing easily....which just isn't possible. It takes the same amount of time and dedication to learn as a 3 hour College course, to be quite honest. If I missed the mark or you're still confused about somethings, please let me know.

Ron...a Million Dollars!!!! (Wide eyed extreme close up with pinky extended to the corner of my mouth). Sure, I could do that I honestly don't use that feature as much as I should. I'll plan to dive in and really focus on that feature in the next few weeks.

ram....I actually hesitated to put her picture in the tut. After doing a little random search a few weeks ago I found one of my tutorials on a website based in China. Not that you could easily pull a photo out of a YouTube Video, but the internet is still a pretty scary place and I have been trying very hard to resist putting my own daughters in my videos. As my website customer base grows I need to become a little more protective of their images. But, yes.....she's pretty darned cute ....aaaaaaand she knows it

Jennifer,

I fully understand. In fact I had second thoughts when I made that request.

Yes, there are many ways to extract info from the internet. We have to be very carefull on what we post.

Dear Jennifer,

I just want to thank you soooooo very much for ALL the tutorials that you do. I have watched all of the ones on your web site, as well as several on ProShow Enthusiasts and You Tube.

I purchased your drop n drag package and have really enjoyed it. After viewing this tutorial, I now better understand how things work. I'm working very hard on "mastering" key frames. Honesty, I have a long way to go so every tutorial and any information I can get certainly helps.

I have posted several questions on PS Enthusiasts and each time the response has been overwhelming.

Thanks again for being so helpful and helping me with the BIG learning of curve of ProShow Producer.

Jennifer -

Great tutorial - you're an excellent teacher.

Today, I played with keyframes - made a couple of errors but then went back re-viewed your video and finally got Producer to do what I wanted.

Thanks so much!
