keyframe
A keyframe is a reference frame in animation that fixes the position and state of an object at an important moment, such as the start or end of a motion.
Once an animator sets keyframes, software interpolates the frames in between. The method is used across 3D software, video editing tools and web animation.
In video compression, the term also refers to a frame that stores a complete image without depending on other frames.
