Adding a background image
You could dissolve to a transparent background, but for this project, you’ll add a peacock image as the final visual component.
- Drag the Peacock.jpeg element from the Project panel into the Timeline panel, placing it at the bottom of the layer stack.
- Press the P key to reveal the Position property for the layer, and change the Position value to 405, 399.
- Press the Shift key and the S key to reveal the Scale property as well. Change the Scale amount to 83%.
- Go to 3:05. Create initial keyframes for both the Scale and Position properties.
- Move to 4:00. Change the Scale amount to 45% and the Position value to 153, 240.
- Select the Position property to select both keyframes. Right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Mac OS) one of the keyframes, and choose Keyframe Assistant > Easy Ease.

Easy Ease makes movement more natural-looking. So does motion blur, so you’ll add that now.
Click the Toggle Switches/Modes button at the bottom of the Timeline panel. Then select the Motion Blur switch (
) for every layer except the Flamingo Video layer.The Flamingo Video layer doesn’t need motion blur because it doesn’t move.
- Select the Motion Blur For All Layers button to enable motion blur.
- Hide any properties that are open for any layer.
