Custom animations allow you to create motion in the middle of a clip. For example, you may want to create a slow “Ken Burns” pan and zoom in throughout a clip, or a precise zoom into a spot on a screen recording.

How to add animations to your videos
Creating animations and motion for a given clip in Scenery takes 5 basic steps:
Select clip. Select the video, image or shape on the timeline that you want to animate.
Add animation block. Add the animation block where you want the animation to start. (This is located in the properties panel within the Setting tab under transforms & opacity, called "Animations")
Set start and end states. Configure how you want your clip to look at the start and finish of the animation by customizing the clip’s position, opacity, and scale on each side of the block.
Control duration. Select down on the edge of the animation, then drag and resize the animation block to control the duration.
Set easing curve. Set your easing curve to control the animation feel.
