Moving, Deleting and Easing Keyframe for masks in Color Tab

PostSun Apr 27, 2025 7:54 pm

Hello everyone.

I never thought about it but I needed to delete keyframes in the Tracking -> Frame tab to move my mask and just realized that it wasn't possible. I don't know if it's a problem of the 20b2 but I can't delete keyframes in the frame tab.

Also I can't move them.

Extra question: I also wonder if you can ease those keyframes.

Thanks in advance for your replies!

Three dot menu.

Or in the keyframe panel, where you can create dynamic (ease) or static (linear) keyframes. You can also delete them there.

Thanks Kruno. Easing a mask like in fusion is not possible tho, is it? I mean, yeah you can do dynamic keyframe but you won’t be able to move a mask like you do with spline, am I right?

I am not sure if we mean the same thing. But splines can mean two things. It can mean spline used to draw a mask or one that represents the values of keyframes. If you mean the first types, you can modify the curve type power window spline and activate additional bezier handles.

Moving the mask creates displacement path which can be eased using dynamic keyframes and you can use it with the tracking which obviously will depend on what was tracked.

If you mean can you adjust spline curve for relashion between keyframes, yes you can but its not really what you might expect. And personally I would not be using it since usually the nature of color page adjustments does not need it.

But you can in fact adjust the curve or spline for keyframes, if that is what you meant.

Changing Dynamic Attributes

By default, the transition from one Dynamic keyframe to the next is linear. However, if you need to alter the acceleration of value interpolation from one Dynamic keyframe to the next, then you can change that keyframe’s dynamic attributes.

To change a keyframe’s dynamic attributes:

1 Click to select a keyframe in the Keyframe Editor.
2 Right-click the selected keyframe, and choose Change Dynamic Attributes.
3 When the Dynamic Attributes window appears, do one or both of the following:
- Choose a new outgoing acceleration curve using the Start slider, affecting the interpolation occurring to the right of that keyframe.
- Choose a new incoming acceleration curve using the End slider, affecting the interpolation occurring to the left of that keyframe.

4 When you’re happy with the curve, click OK.

By using different Start and End values, you can make animated adjustments “ease in” or “ease out” of a particular keyframe, to create a more gradual or abrupt transition.

TIP: The default dynamic profile start and end of each new keyframe can be set via the Dynamics Profile values in the General Options panel of the Project Settings. As you choose different acceleration curves, the display to the right shows the resulting curve graph.
