Keyframe Animation
Keyframe animation is a fundamental animation technique where an animator defines specific frames (keyframes) that represent the start and end points of a smooth transition, with the system automatically generating the intermediate frames (inbetweens). It is widely used in computer graphics, web development, and video production to create dynamic visual effects. This method allows for precise control over motion, transformations, and timing in animations.
Developers should learn keyframe animation for creating interactive and visually appealing user interfaces in web and mobile applications, such as CSS animations for hover effects or page transitions. It is essential in game development for character movements and in multimedia projects for video editing and motion graphics. Mastering this concept enables efficient animation workflows and enhances user experience through smooth, controlled animations.
