Keyframes won't work

Hi,

I am currently working on a project and I tried to use keyframes, which won't work. This is the first time using Premiere Pro CC 2018, I never had the problem on the CC 2017 version. But now to my problem: When I create two keyframes, for example getting the opacity from 100 to 0, in the effects panel the opacity changes over time like it is supposed to, but not in the video. Even when rendering the video the effect doesn't happen... It always takes the first keyframe value and then applys it to the video, but no further changes are made by the second keyframe.

I hope I made myself clear...

Thanks

When Premiere is acting weird best is to trash preferences:

hold down shift+alt while opening Premiere (this shortcut will also reset plugin cache).

If anyone is still reading this.  I usually never put my input, but I was searching forever for an answer to my problem.  Im pretty sure I was having the same issue.  Mines was trying to keyframe the opacity to gradually increase but it wasnt working.  It would let me set the opacity at the very first keyframe but anything after that wouldnt make a difference.  I had the clip time remapped to slow down.  Found out I had to Nest it before i could start to do my keyframe work.  Hope that helps anyone with the same issue.

Same Problem here, but trashing preferences didn't work. Any ideas?

Do you use nested sequences? I had the same problem again when I changed the speed of the video within the nested sequence. Try applying the keyframes to the underlying sequence (if you use nested sequences).

what do you mean man? i have the same problem too. i changed the speed of the video but now when i add keyframes (one at start and one on the end of the piece of video) for slowly zoom in it appears only the last stats of the zoom from the last keyframe. what can i do?

Uncheck  "Composite in Linear Color' in the Project Settings.  I'm not at my editing computer now, but I think it is under the General tab.
