A motion path appears in the Program Monitor connecting the start and end points of the clip's motion. Small Bezier handles appear near either end of this motion path. 7 Drag either or both of the Bezier handles in any direction to create curves in the motion path. 8 In the Effect Controls panel, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a Position keyframe. 9 Select a type of acceleration from either the Temporal Interpolation or the Spatial Interpolation menu. 10 Drag the current-time indicator to the first keyframe and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS) to preview the motion of the clip.

Move the current-time indicator in either the Timeline panel or the Effect Controls panel to the time where you
want to start the animation—any frame between the clip’s current In point and its Out point.
3
Click the triangle next to the Motion control in the Effects Controls panel.
4
Click the Toggle Animation button
next to the Position control to set the first keyframe.
5

want to end the animation.
6
In the Program Monitor, click and drag the clip to the location where you want the clip at the end of its
movement.
A motion path appears in the Program Monitor connecting the start and end points of the clip’s motion. Small
Bezier handles appear near either end of this motion path.
7
Drag either or both of the Bezier handles in any direction to create curves in the motion path.
8
In the Effect Controls panel, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) a Position keyframe.
9
Select a type of acceleration from either the Temporal Interpolation or the Spatial Interpolation menu.
10
Drag the current-time indicator to the first keyframe and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS) to preview
the motion of the clip.

Adjust or animate anchor points
By default, an anchor point is set at the exact center of a clip. You can change the position of a clip in relation to its
frame or motion path, however, by moving its anchor point. Further, you can change the location of the anchor
point over time, allowing the clip to move in relation to its frame or motion path. Animating the anchor point can
be used, for example, to create an image-panning effect.
1
In the Timeline panel, place the current-time indicator at the beginning of a clip.
2
Click on the clip in the Program Monitor.
The anchor point at the center of the clip becomes visible.
