Keyframe animation is an animation technique where you define the primary start and end points of a movement, and the remaining frames are filled in to create smooth transitions. I am assuming you are looking for a foundational overview of how this concept applies across modern digital media. The Core Concept
Keyframes: These are markers that define the exact value of an object’s property at a specific point in time. These properties include position, scale, rotation, color, and opacity.
In-Betweens (Tweening): This is the movement generated between your keyframes. In traditional animation, assistant artists drew these frames by hand. In modern digital animation, the software automatically calculates and fills in these gaps. How Motion is Controlled (Interpolation)
When software fills in the space between two keyframes, it uses “interpolation” to determine the speed and style of the movement. There are three main types of interpolation: Keyframe Animation Masterclass – Motion Graphics 101
