# Image Animations

> Learn how to add and customize image animations in your Clueso videos.

Animating images helps draw attention to key visuals and makes your videos feel more alive. Add an entry animation to introduce an image, an exit animation to remove it, or both.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open the Animation tab">
    Select the image you want to animate, then click the **Animation** tab in the right panel.

    You'll see two sections — **Enter** and **Exit** — each with a **+** button to add an animation.

  </Step>

  <Step title="Choose an animation preset">
    Click the **+** button next to **Enter** (or **Exit**) and pick a preset:

    * **Fade** — fades the image in or out
    * **Slide** — slides the image onto or off the screen from any direction
    * **Scale** — scales the image up on entry or down on exit
    * **Pop** — bounces the image in or out
    * **Masked Reveal** — wipes the image in or out behind a mask

  </Step>

  <Step title="Fine-tune the animation">
    Once a preset is selected, the section expands to show its controls:

    * **Duration** — how long the animation lasts (in seconds)
    * **Direction** — which way the image enters or exits the screen (Slide only)

    A small preview appears at the top of the panel so you can see the animation as you adjust it. Click **Reset to default** at any time to revert your changes.

  </Step>
</Steps>

You can configure **Enter** and **Exit** independently — for example, you might fade an image in but slide it off to the side when it leaves.
