Keyframing video effects in Premiere Elements 2023

[SteffenRoller]

I'm using APE 2023 and I can't reproduce the way you're cropping. I've spent quite some time searching on the web and in different communities. When I select a clip and apply the crop effect, then I cannot use my mouse to drag the image's handles around. It will be a *resize* instead of a crop. I've seen in your video that you dragged the handles and have seen it in other videos. Are there any settings I've to switch on/off?

Hi Steve, thanks so much for your tips and tutorials. Your advice is my primary 'go-to' when I'm editing my YouTube videos. This is the first time I've had to reach out because I can't figure out how to fade in/out an effect. I want to add a colour tone / effect to a short section within a video to convey a feeling of foreboding. I know I can add an effect like 'horror' or making manual adjustments to colour and lighting but I would like this effect to fade in/out from the clip's original. I know it's probably done with keyframing but when I try to keyframe, either it's not available (like black and white effect) or there seems to be no easy way of return the clip to the original. Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

Hi Steve - thanks for this. Could you just clarigy whetehr once you have sent a keyframe you can move / drag it to a new position, for say if you want the effect to finish a second later than you originally set it. In PSE 2020 I can't find a way of doing that ad I'm hoping an upgrade to PSE 2024 when it is released may solve that.

Hi there! Is it possible to Copy and Paste Keyframes? I'd like to create a motion path to immitate a handheld camera, at least to loosen up the steadyness of the image a bit. Once I have created keyframes for 2-3 seconds, which include position, rotation, zoom, etc. it's a lot of work to set this up for a 2-3 minute film. So - can I just copy/paste the keyframes? I know it works in premiere pro. Thanks :)
