Animation options are grayed-out for video object when it is a "Video from Website"

Hi,

I am finding that if a video is added via the “Video from a Website” tool (not “Video from a File”) there is no ability to add an entrance or exit animation effect (e.g. fade-in) to the video; the animation options are grayed-out.

However if that video is on a layer, the layer can have a transition, and the video will behave as expected with respect to the transition. For example if the layer transition is a fade-in, the video will also fade-in.

Am I doing something wrong, or is this the correct behavior?

Many thanks in advance.

    Hi Developer Ignition,

    Thanks for reaching out with this question!

    I'm happy to help provide some insight on this. You are correct that the option to add an entrance or exit animation to a video inserted from a website is grayed out.

    One option to try is to add a slide transition, such as Fade. Here's a quick preview of adding a slide transition to the base layer:

    I hope this helps! If you have additional questions, please let me know!
