Demo summary

The user shows how to animate the entry of the timeline wheel and a pointer image using position and rotation keyframes in Filmora to simulate a scrolling effect.

Step-by-step

  1. Double-click the element on the timeline to open settings.
  2. Set the scale to 80% and enable the keyframe toggle for Position.
  3. Decrease the Y value until the element is completely out of frame.
  4. Move the playhead forward a few frames and increase the Y value to bring the element back into view.
  5. Place the pointer image on the timeline and adjust its scale and initial position.
  6. Enable the keyframe toggle for Rotation on the round clip at the 2.05-second mark.
  7. Move the playhead forward and manually rotate the clip until the desired text reaches the center.

Options

  • Manually rotate the element or input specific degree values to align text

Tips

  • Improve the animation later by tweaking the specific keyframe positions on the timeline.
