Which term records the timing and interpolation of object transformations over time?

• A. Frame Rate
• B. Extents
• C. Keyframes
• D. Main Toolbar

Answer: (C)

Keyframes capture when changes happen and how those changes transition over time. Each key records the transformation values (position, rotation, scale) at a specific frame, and the software calculates the frames in between by interpolating from one key to the next. This is exactly what controls the timing of motion and the smoothness of the movement, including any easing or abrupt changes you apply. For example, if you place a key at frame 0 with the object on the left and another at frame 20 on the right, the animation software will fill in frames 1 through 19 by interpolating between those two keys, determining both where the object moves and how that motion accelerates or slows down. Frame rate is about how many frames are shown per second, Extents define the start and end of the timeline, and the Main Toolbar is just part of the user interface.
