Working with keyframes

Here’s all the things you can do with a keyframe in Rotato.

Duration

‍Drag the left edge of a keyframe to change its duration. You can also click a keyframe and change the duration in the keyframe inspector side bar.

Easing

This tells Rotato how you want the mockup devices to move from keyframe to keyframe. Click a keyframe, then change the easing in the side bar.

Change mockup angle for a keyframe

Click a keyframe, then change the camera rotation as you would normally. Once you're done rotating, you'll note that the keyframe thumbnail updates, reflecting the new rotation.

Delete a keyframe

Select the keyframe, then click the trashcan. Alternatively, press the backspace button on your keyboard.

Delete all keyframes

De-select all keyframes. Then click the trashcan.

Duplicate a keyframe

Select a keyframe, then click the + button.
