136 Animating with Keyframes
You’ve now explored the basics of creating keyframes by recording them or setting
them manually for a single parameter on a single layer. Next, you’ll explore techniques
for applying and adjusting the keyframes of multiple parameters on multiple layers.

document available from the Help menu.
Using Keyframes on Multiple Parameters and Layers
Because keyframes are so precise and flexible, they are often used to animate multiple
layers to move, spin, or blur at a specific point in time. In this exercise, we’ll return to the
Rockumentary project and animate all the title elements to fall into place and form the
final composition. Motion lets you quickly set keyframes for parameters on multiple
layers, and it also lets you choose which keyframes appear for editing in the Keyframe
Editor.
Keyframing Multiple Layers
The first step is to add keyframes that will lock in place all the layers that are to be
animated.

In previous lessons, you created the second half of this project, the composite image
of the title elements with the sequence of photos. You also animated the initial photos
and dates “falling” through space. Now we’ll concentrate on the middle part of the
project: animating the title elements into position. Unlike the photos and dates that
