There are a number of ways to create a keyframe.

If your Keyframe Graph is not open hit the Show/Hide Keyframe Graphs button in the bottom-right corner of the Effect Editor. To begin make sure the Keyframe Graph is open (this is the brown area in the Effect Editor in the previous images where you can see the Time Position Indicator, the blue bar). Okay, so how do we change this value over time? How do we show the clip scaling up? That’s where keyframing comes in. Putting the Scaling parameter down to 50 means that we’re making our clip 50% of its size. You can also click and drag the slider down to 50 or once you click the circle you can use the left and right arrow keys to adjust the number. Click on the circle in the X parameter’s sliding bar. Twirl open the Scaling parameter by clicking the black triangle next to the word Scaling. To get started let’s adjust the scale of our clip. Inside the Effect Editor are all the different parameters that can be adjusted and keyframed. The Effect Editor should now look like this: Once the Effect Editor is open select the video clip with that has the 3D Warp applied to it. Alternatively, you can hit the Effect Mode button located by default in the top-left corner of the Timeline window. This is located under the Tools menu and by selecting Effect Editor. To access 3D Warp’s various parameters and to get started with keyframing open the Effect Editor. Click 3D Warp in the Effect Palette and drag and drop it onto a video clip. Under Blend you’ll find the 3D Warp effect. To find 3D Warp open up the Effect Palette by hitting Cmd+8 (Mac) or Ctrl+8 (PC) or by going to the Tools menu and selecting Effect Palette. Throughout this article we’re going to be using the 3D Warp effect.
