Summary  
This chapter covers manipulating object transform and opacity properties (position, scale, rotation, anchor point, opacity, blending modes) and creating timeline-based animations by keyframing parameter values.

General domain of usage  
Video editing

1. Highlight a clip on the timeline;
2. Go to the Effect Controls panel;
3. Explore default options such as Motion, Opacity, and Time Remapping;
4. Focus on Motion and Opacity for basic transformations.

Navigating the effect controls panel

1. Use the Position property to move the clip horizontally and vertically;
2. Adjust the Scale property to resize the clip proportionally;
3. Uncheck Uniform Scale to change width and height separately;
4. Use Rotation to rotate the clip around its center.

Adjusting position, scale, and rotation

1. Adjust the Anchor Point to change the pivot for transformations;
2. Modify values manually or use the Program panel for direct manipulation;
3. Enable Motion controls to adjust position, scale, and rotation visually;
4. Reset transformations using the Reset Parameter button.

Working with anchor points and transformations

1. Expand the Opacity tab in the Effect Controls panel;
2. Adjust transparency using the Opacity slider;
3. Experiment with Blending Modes for creative effects;
4. Layer multiple clips to test different blending options.

Applying opacity and blending modes

1. Toggle Animation for any effect (e.g., Scale or Position);
2. Set a keyframe at the beginning of the clip;
3. Move the playhead to a later frame and adjust the effect value;
4. Premiere Pro will create a smooth transition between keyframes.

Creating animations with keyframes

1. Preview your animations and make adjustments if needed;
2. Use the Step Back/Forward buttons to navigate keyframes;
3. Delete unnecessary keyframes by selecting and pressing Delete;
4. Experiment with different motion effects for dynamic storytelling.

Finalizing your effects and animations

Add zoom-ins and zoom-outs where they fit your story. You can also add some other animations if you want.
