To add keyframes to a clip's attributes, which tool is used?

• A. Hand Tool
• B. Type Tool
• C. Pen Tool
• D. Selection Tool

Answer: (C)

Keyframing involves placing points that define a value at specific times, and the Pen Tool is the instrument in Premiere Pro for inserting those points on a clip’s animation graph. When a property like Position, Scale, or Opacity is ready for animation, you enable its animation (the stopwatch) and switch to the Pen Tool to click along the property’s graph to add keyframes at the current playhead position. Each keyframe captures the property’s value at that moment, and you can drag keyframes or adjust their bezier handles to shape how the value changes over time. The other tools serve different tasks—Hand Tool for panning, Type Tool for text, and Selection Tool for moving items—not for adding animation keyframes.
