Customizing your effects using keyframes

The Matrox realtime plug-in for Adobe Premiere lets you customize the transform (perspective) and crop settings on a clip by creating keyframes on the Transform and Crop tracks. A keyframe is a marker that defines settings at a specific point in time, such as a clip's position on the screen. An interpolation is automatically set between your keyframes to create a gradual transition from one keyframe's settings to the next. The transform settings you can control are position, size, offset, and rotation.

In the tutorial Applying a page curl to a title, you learned how to create a title using Inscriber TitleExpress, and apply a realtime page curl to your title. This is a prelude to the following tutorials that show you how to customize your effects using keyframes:

Transforming a page curl

Learn how to create keyframes to apply custom transform settings to your page curl.

Saving and applying your custom keyframes

Once you've transformed your page curl, learn how to save your custom keyframes to a file that you can apply to other clips in your project. Use this technique to build a library of custom effects that you can apply at any time and share with other Matrox RT2000 users.
