Add, Delete, Duplicate Keyframes

Duration: 02:23

Keyframes are used to define the starting and ending points of an action. In SVGator's online animation software, the first keyframe will be added along the animator right where the playhead is positioned on the timeline. By dragging the playhead on a different second and then rotating the element at a different angle, another keyframe will be automatically added to mark the end of this rotate transition.

You can also add keyframes by clicking the Add keyframe button here or using the ALT +F  keys on your keyboard and apply the transform after.

You can control the timing by dragging the keyframes along the timeline. Select all the keyframes in one row at once by clicking on the animator or select only a few with Drag select.

By dragging the segment between two keyframes, you can move them at once. Also, a multiple selection can be made by clicking the keyframes one by one while holding down the Control or Command key.

If you hold down the shift key you can drag the playhead and the keyframes smoothly along the timeline and even place keyframes between the timeline markers.

Keyframes from one animator can be copied to other elements too. Select the second ball and add the Rotate animator to it:
