Keyframe Animation on Mobile
Auto-Key records changes at the current animation time. Base values stay your start point.
Animation on phone editors usually means an on/off preset. FreeCut treats animation like a real NLE: you set keyframes, the curve is yours.

How to use it
Move the playhead
Position the animation time at the moment you want a key.
Adjust on the canvas
Drag, scale or rotate the layer in preview. Auto-Key records the values.
Tweak the curve
Switch easing per parameter — linear for camera, ease-out for text pop.
Render at full FPS
Frame-by-frame evaluation keeps animation smooth at 30 or 60 fps.
Creator tips
Animate one thing first
Get position right before you add rotation or scale on top. Layered keys are harder to debug.
60 fps for fast motion
Smooth pans and quick zooms read much better at 60 fps.
Common mistakes
- Setting keyframes on the base transform and forgetting Auto-Key was off.
- Linear easing everywhere — UI motion looks floaty without ease-in/ease-out.
