Overview
Animate is Player ID’s keyframe animation tool that makes zooms and pans incredibly easy.
Want to zoom in on a player? Pan across the ice or field while your clip plays?
Animate lets you create smooth, professional motion effects in just a few taps.
How It Works
Animate uses keyframes to define a start and end point for movement.
You set where the animation begins and ends, and Player ID automatically creates a smooth transition between those points.
Creating an Animation
- Move the playhead to where you want the animation to begin
- Tap the + Animate button
- Move the playhead to where you want the animation to end
- Use on-canvas controls to:
- Zoom by scaling
- Pan by moving the clip
- Tap Done
Your animation will automatically play back as a smooth zoom or pan.
Editing an Animation
- Tap the diamond markers on the timeline
- Adjust the start or end position of your animation
- Update movement, scale, or position as needed
What You’ll See
- Diamond icons on the timeline representing keyframes
- Smooth motion between start and end points
- Real-time preview of your animation
Important Notes
- Animations are created between two keyframes (start and end)
- Only the section between those points will animate
- You can edit or remove animations at any time
