Keyframe

Also known as Animation keyframe

A frame marking an important point in an animation or edit, such as a change in position, scale or appearance. Some AI video tools also use selected frames as visual guidance for a generated shot.

In practice

An animator sets a product's position at two keyframes so the movement between them can be created and reviewed.
