Animating Transforms

The Text node supports animation in a similar way to most other Nuke nodes, in that you can animate individual controls in the properties panel, but the Group tab animation layer table enables you to visualize your animations more easily.

Animating Selections

1.   Set the starting position for the selection(s) using the Viewer handles as described in Transforming Text.
2.   Click the button above the Viewer to add a starting keyframe.
3.   Move the playhead to a new frame and transform the selection using the Viewer handles.

A keyframe is added automatically on the new frame.

4.   Repeat the process to produce the required animation.
5.   Click to remove a keyframe at the current frame.

Animating Groups

1.   Set the starting position for the groups using the transform controls as described in Transforming Text.
2.   Select a group in the animation layers table and then click the button above the Viewer to add a starting keyframe.
3.   Move the playhead to a new frame and transform the group using the transform controls or the handles in the Viewer.

A keyframe is added automatically on the new frame.

4.   Repeat the process to produce the required animation.
5.   Click to remove a keyframe at the current frame.
