Keyframe Timeline

Mockup animations use a time-based keyframe timeline scaled 0–100% of the project duration.

The timeline

A horizontal band runs across the bottom of the mockup view. The left edge is 0% (start), the right edge is 100% (end). The orange dot at the top is the playhead.

Drag the playhead to scrub through the animation. The preview updates live.

Adding a keyframe

  1. Move the playhead to a position.
  2. Change any transform value (position, rotation, scale, depth-of-field).
  3. The change is recorded as a keyframe at that position.

A coloured diamond appears in the timeline for each animatable property.

Per-property rows

Click the small expand arrow on the timeline to open per-property rows. Each row shows the keyframes for one property: position, rotation, scale, DoF, etc. Diamonds can be dragged along their row to re-time.

Edit keyframe values

Click a diamond to make it the active keyframe. The property panel updates to the keyframe’s value; edit it the same as a non-keyframed value.

Delete keyframes

  • Click a diamond → press Delete.
  • Right-click → Delete keyframe.
  • Drag the diamond off the timeline.

Easing

Between two adjacent keyframes the curve segment can be set — see Easing Curves.

Project duration

The timeline always runs 0–100%. The actual duration in seconds is set in the project’s export settings (default 6 seconds). Change duration and the keyframes stay at their proportional positions.

Copy and paste keyframes

Multi-select diamonds with marquee → Cmd / Ctrl-C → move playhead → Cmd / Ctrl-V. The pasted keyframes land at the new playhead position, preserving spacing.

Apply a preset

Right-click the timeline → Apply preset → pick from the preset library to drop a complete keyframe set in one click. See Preset Animations.
