Specifying an exact time for motion
To synchronize motion with other events in your video program, or to specify an exact time for motion, use the time display next to the motion timeline. The time display shows the time of the selected motion keyframe, as measured from either the beginning of the clip, or from the beginning of the entire video program.
To specify an exact time for motion:
1 Click the two red arrows next to the time display to specify how time is measured:
, the time is measured using the clip's duration. So, if the clip is 20 seconds long and you set a keyframe at 00:10:00, the keyframe appears halfway through the clip's duration. Use this option to specify an exact location in the clip for the keyframe.
, the time is measured using the entire duration of the video program in the Timeline window. So, if the clip is located at 00:10:00 in the video program, and it is 20 seconds long, you can specify an exact location between 00:10:00 and 00:30:00 in the Timeline to position the keyframes. 2 Create a motion keyframe by clicking in the motion timeline (or by selecting an existing one). Then drag it to the appropriate time by watching the time display.
