<p>I want to make a video in Adobe Premiere, I noticed that there is a certain kind of animation that video editors use in video essays, here is an example:
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tva0xq-eDvI" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Check Your Schadenfreude</a><br>
You can see how there is a smooth animated motion that appears when a text is highlighted or an object is being revealed, how can I make a similar effect? I was able to make something that is a bit close to it but I can't make it perfect, are there any presets for this? what should I search for?</p>

You need to add ease-in to the motion. That's where the motion slows as it approaches the final position. You can add it quickly by hitting the `f9` key. This sets the speed of the keyframe to zero, and gives it 16% influence. To change the effect you cn edit this by opening the keyframe properties dialogue. Hit `ctrl/⌘``shift``k`. Alternatively open the graph editor and click on the position property to show the graph. You can adjust the speed of the keyframe and its influence by dragging the Bézier handles there.
