Keyframes

Keyframes are one of the most important things to master when editing (apart from Cute cut pro) keyframes are used. They are used then combined with a graph to create a smooth transition although keyframes change throughout the devices. Placing keyframes is a vital instrument when it comes to editing, too close it looks choppy, too far it looks stretched out. Placing keyframes and using the graphs in a correct way is the main reason for smooth looking edits without the need for rsmb. Heres some images of your desired graphs.

In videostar your graphs need more keyframes than Alight motion and After effects therefore making it more difficult to manoeuvre around. The graphs however stay the same. Think of a mountain, your wheeling a cart up and down it now imagine that shape thats basically the graphs. The steeper the mountain the faster you and the cart go the more drawn out the slower you and the cart will go.

In Alight motion graphs only use two frames a 0 degree and a -/+ degree. Graphs aren't difficult either since they use the basis of speed graphs in after effects. Dragging your bottom button to create steepness in a graph is vital for your edits. Having this in place however also lets you design different shapes but focus on the classic ones first.

In After effects you have two main graphs: speed graphs and value graphs. speed graphs are the beginners type using a simplistic layout to present a watered down version of the value graphs however making edits look more choppy and beginner like. Personally value graphs weren't that hard to use however in 3d shapes it gets confusing based on ease types.
