keyframed
Set anchor points
Keyframed describes animation or video created using keyframes—specific frames that mark the start and end points of a transition, with the software generating the frames in between.
A keyframed animation has its major positions set manually rather than calculated entirely by algorithm.
The technique originated in traditional animation and now dominates digital motion graphics: The logo entrance was keyframed to bounce twice before settling.
