Keyframe Interpolation Method | Is There an Easier Way?!

[johnalmightyx]

Is there an easier way to keyframe in Premiere Pro when you're messing with the velocity of 2 different properties? 

Scale and Position for example as shown in the screenshot below.

I'm trying to time the velocity between scale and position around the same time when zooming into a chart I've made. It's a bit time-consuming to continue trying to pull both handles to the same place and time.

Is there any easier method behind this?

Hi @johnalmightyx,

Managing keyframes for multiple properties like Scale and Position in Adobe Premiere Pro can be tricky. Here are some tips and resources to make the process easier:
1 Using the Graph Editor:
◦ The Graph Editor in the Effect Controls panel allows you to view and adjust the velocity of keyframes for different properties. Using Bezier handles, you can synchronize the timing and speed of your Scale and Position keyframes ...
2 Copying and Pasting Keyframes:
◦ You can copy keyframes from one property and paste them onto another. This can help ensure that the keyframes for Scale and Position are aligned in time. Select the keyframes, right-click, choose Copy, then select the other property and paste.
3 Linking Properties with Expressions:
◦ Although Premiere Pro doesn’t support expressions like After Effects, you can use the Essential Graphics panel to create templates with linked properties. This can help maintain consistent timing between different properties.
4 Using Ease In and Ease Out:
◦ Applying Ease In and Ease Out to your keyframes can help smooth out the transitions and make matching the velocities of different properties easier. Right-click on a keyframe and choose Temporal Interpolation > Ease In or Ease Out.

Helpful Resources:
◦ Adobe Community Post: This post discusses managing keyframe velocities and using the Graph Editor effectively.
◦ Adobe Helpx Documentation: This guide provides detailed instructions on adding, navigating, and setting keyframes in Premiere Pro2.
◦ YouTube Tutorial: This video by Premiere Basics offers an advanced tutorial on keyframing, including tips on synchronizing multiple properties.

By using these techniques, you should find it easier to manage the keyframes for Scale and Position, ensuring a smoother and more synchronized animation. Let me know if you need more help. Happy editing! 😊

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi Kevin, I'm not the original poster but I'm having the same troubles and would like to provide some follow up based on my use in Premiere.

Your solution #1 is the exact problem I'm trying to solve. Dragging the handles around to try to get a pixel perfect match from scale to position is incredibly frustrating and difficult.

Your solution #2 simply is not true. I can't get keyframes to copy to a different Motion property no matter what I do.

Again I appreciate you taking your time to reply but none of your solutions solve this issue and it creates a frustrating situation when I google this problem only to find forum after forum of replies that don't fix the issue. There must be a way to make this easier because I've been having this issue since using Premiere 10 years ago. But as far as I can tell, there is no way to get the easing value like in After Effects. Incredibly basic functionality that appears to be missing from Premiere.

This doesn't really solve my issue. This is only telling me how to use apart of the software that I already know how to use. I'm extremely advanced with keyframes in Premiere Pro.... but we're unable to keyframe both scale and position like how we're able to achieve it in After Effects. 

I'm constantly having to go back and forth in order to time it correctly. Is there a solution for this?
