Change the curve shape (interpolation) between keyframes
1. In the Final Cut Pro Video Animation editor, click the disclosure button for an effect to
expand it.
Note: If an effect doesn’t have a disclosure button, you can’t move keyframes up or
down.
2. Command-drag the line horizontally between the keyframes to create a curve.
3. Control-click the line between keyframes and choose a curve option.
• Linear: Maintains a constant rate of change over the duration of the fade.
• Ease: Eases in and out of the fade with the midpoint set between the beginning and
end values.
• Ease In: Starts quickly from the beginning value and then moves slowly toward the
end value.
• Ease Out: Starts slowly from the beginning value and then moves quickly toward the
end value.
Note: You can change the curve shape between keyframes for video effects only. For audio
volume only, you can change the curve shape for fades created using fade handles, but not
keyframes. See
Fade audio in and out in Final Cut Pro.
