Question

Animation key frames do not work in Effect Controls

I am editing a simple video and i was trying to animate the Mask Opacity for an effect. But i can add keyframes and see the values change but it does not show the result if i scrub the timeline or render it out.

I tried different effects and also just a basic opacity as well. Nothing. 

 

Thoughts?

Hello, 

 

Thanks for the reply. I think i just fixed it. So what i was trying to edit was a video clip that i had a frame hold on in point. Using it as a still image. It did not want to do any animation. So after reading through some other posts that were not really the same as my problem i made a sub sequence of it and now the effects work like they should. Is this the proper way to do that? Is there some other way to make it more of a still image?

 

Thanks

Hi @Quentin H,


Welcome to the forums. It's always annoying when keyframes don't work as expected. Can you provide a few more details about your system specs and some steps to reproduce the issue?  Please see: How do I write a bug report?

Also take a look at this user's post and see if their solution might work for you: Keyframes can't be placed/animated inside the timeline

 

I hope we can help you shortly.
