The term 'keyframe' is predominantly used in technical and creative industries in both Brazil and the USA. While Portuguese translations exist, many Brazilian professionals in animation, film, and video production use the English term 'keyframe' directly in their workflows and software interfaces. In Portugal, 'fotograma-chave' is sometimes preferred, but 'quadro-chave' is increasingly adopted. The concept originated in traditional cel animation and has become fundamental to modern digital animation software like Blender, Maya, and Adobe Creative Suite.
