Combustion Eye for the AE Guy

Step 7: To avoid confusion, twirl back up the arrow and highlight the Comp. Right+Click and select Import Footage. Navigate to your footage directory and find a clip you can use as a background layer. Again, I am using a clip from Artbeats Liquid Ambience collection.
Step 8: Highlight the Video Layer, and in the Composite Controls, change the Scale amount to 70%.
Step 9: Finally we are going to do some animating. Press the Home key to move the play head to the beginning of the Timeline.
Keyframe animation in combustion is slightly different than in After Effects. In After Effects you have a Stopwatch that sets and turns on and off keyframing for a layer. In combustion 3, you have the Animate button.
Turn on the Animate button. Change the Rotation for the Video Layer to 11 degrees. In combustion a positive rotation rotates counter clockwise, while in After Effects a positive rotation rotates clockwise.
Press the End key on your keyboard to go to the End of the Timeline. Change the Rotation to 4 degrees. Turn off the Animate button.
Click on the Timeline Tab. If you have the Overview button selected, you will see how the keyframes are distributed in the Timeline.
If you have the Graph button selected, you will see a graphical representation of the animation in the Timeline window.
For now, leave Overview turned on. Select both of the keyframes in the Timeline. You do this by click on the Layer Property in the Timeline. Right+Click on either of the keyframes and select Ease Both. This is similar to the After Effects keyframe assistant Easy Ease.
