keyframes

Keyframes are specific points in an animation or video where important changes or positions are set. Think of them as the "anchor" moments that define how an object or scene appears at certain times. The software then fills in the smooth transitions between these keyframes, creating fluid motion or changes. For example, in a bouncing ball animation, you might set keyframes at the start (on the ground), top (highest point), and back on the ground. The motion between these keyframes is automatically generated, making animations easier to control and customize precisely.
