QUESTION #1

 What is a key frame and why is it important?

ANSWER

Key framing can be referred to as the process of assigning a specific parameter value to an object at a specific point in time. For example, you might want a clip to be scaled to fill the screen exactly five seconds into your project. I found that a key frame is very important due to the fact that when you set more than one key frames, motion generates the in-between frames, resulting in a smooth change of that parameter over time. This is called interpolation. For example, if you want a title to change from purple to yellow over time, you would set two keyframes at two different points in time. The first one would define the text’s color as purple, and the second keyframe would set the color to yellow. Motion automatically makes the frames between those points change smoothly from purple to yellow.

QUESTION#2 

How do you set a key frame ?

ANSWER

The basic idea is to create more than one key frames, then set the desired effect values at each keyframe. Premiere will create a gradual change in values between keyframes (this is known as interpolation). For example, you could create a keyframe where the volume is -20dB and another keyframe 5 seconds later where the volume is 0dB. Premiere will interpolate this to create a smooth five-second volume increase.There are two ways to view and work with key frames: In the Timeline and in the Effect Controls window. Key frames can be displayed in the timeline when a video track is expanded- a line is shown with small diamonds marking the key frames.I found this to be a relatively easy, intuitive way to view and manipulate key frames. However, key frames can only be shown for one effect at a time and control is not as precise as using the Effects Control window. Therefore, For full control over key frames, select the clip in the Timeline and open the Effects Control window. The right-hand side of the window is a miniature timeline, just for the selected clip, which shows key frames as diamond icons as well. I found it difficult to get use to but it allows you to see key frames for all effects at once and provides excellent control.

QUESTION#4 

Which of the following cannot be set with key frames?

1) Opacity 2) Volume 3) Rotation 4) Contrast 5) Scale

ANSWER

Almost any effect can be set with key frames therefore, all the above effects can be set with key frames.

QUESTION#5 

What is the band that is used to control volume on an audio clip called?

ANSWER

You can monitor audio levels for clips in a Timeline panel. If the Audio Master Meters panel is not open, select Window then Audio Master Meter,Select the Program Monitor or a Timeline panel and do one of the following: Press Space or in the Program Monitor, click the Play Stop Toggle (Space) button . The Audio Master Meters panel displays the audio level for the Timeline.

QUESTION #6

What is the keystroke used to set key frames.?

ANSWER
CTRL K

QUESTION#7 

What two panels can you use to set key frames ?

ANSWER

The two panels one can use to set key frames are the timeline or the effects control window.
