With Span Based Selection enabled, you can click anywhere within the motion tween to select it, and move the whole ani- mation backward or forward along the Timeline as a single unit. You can change the color effect of an instance in one keyframe and change the value of the color effect in another keyframe, and Animate will automatically display a smooth change, just as it does with changes in position.
Animate will create a smooth fade-in effect. The cityscape instance on the Stage becomes totally transparent. The cityscape instance on the Stage becomes totally opaque. Animate interpolates the changes in both position and transparency between the two keyframes. Animating filters is no different from animating changes in position or changes in color effect. You simply set the values for a filter at one keyframe and set different values for the filter at another keyframe, and Animate creates a smooth transition.
Click the upper-right side of the Stage to select the transparent instance. Or, click the woman layer in the Timeline to highlight it; then click within the outline that appears on the Stage. Set the Blur X and Blur Y values to 20 pixels. The woman instance is blurred throughout the motion tween. Animate establishes a keyframe for filters at frame The Blur filter changes from the keyframe at frame to the keyframe at Animate creates a smooth transition from a blurry instance to an in-focus instance.
Understanding property keyframes Changes in properties are independent of one another and do not need to be tied to the same keyframes. That is, you can have a keyframe for position, a different keyframe for the color effect, and yet another keyframe for a filter. Managing many different kinds of keyframes can become overwhelming, especially if you want dif- ferent properties to change at different times during the motion tween. Fortunately, Animate CC provides a few helpful tools for keyframe management.
When viewing the tween span, you can choose to view the keyframes of only cer- tain properties. For example, you can choose to view only the Position keyframes to see when your object moves. Or, you can choose to view only the Filter keyframes to see when a filter changes. Right-click a motion tween in the Timeline, choose View Keyframes, and then select the desired property among the list. You can also choose All or None to see all the properties or none of the properties. When inserting a keyframe, you can also insert a keyframe specific to the property you want to change.
Right-click a motion tween in the Timeline, choose Insert Keyframes, and then select the desired property. You can also view an advanced panel, called the Motion Editor, to see and edit how the different properties of your object change over the course of the motion tween. These kinds of changes are made with the Free Transform tool or with the Transform panel. The car will start small, and then become larger as it appears to move forward toward the viewer. The transformation handles appear around the instance on the Stage.
The car becomes totally transparent. The current layer becomes a tween layer. A new keyframe is automatically inserted at frame to indicate the change in transparency. You have used Animate to tween the change in position and the change in scale as well as the change in transparency from frame 75 to frame Motion presets If your project involves creating identical motion tweens repeatedly, Animate allows you to save and reuse motion tweens as presets.
For example, if you want to build a slideshow where each image fades out in the same manner, you can save that transition as a motion preset.
Alternatively, right-click the motion tween and choose Save As Motion Preset. Animate provides a number of motion presets that you can use to quickly build sophisticated animations without much effort.
Changing the Path of the Motion The motion tween of the left car that you just animated shows a colored line with dots indicating the path of the motion. You can edit the path of the motion easily to make the car travel in a curve, or you can move, scale, or rotate the path just like any other object on the Stage.
To better demonstrate how you can edit the path of the motion, open the sample file 04MotionPath. Moving the path of the motion You will move the path of the motion so the relative movement of the rocket ship remains the same but its starting and ending positions change.
The path of the motion becomes highlighted. The relative motion and timing of the animation remain the same, but the starting and ending positions are relocated. Transformation handles appear around the path of the motion. You can make the path smaller or larger, or rotate the path so the rocket ship starts from the bottom left of the Stage and ends at the top right. Editing the path of the motion Making your objects travel on a curved path is a simple matter.
You can either edit the path with Bezier precision using anchor point handles, or you can edit the path in a more intuitive manner with the Selection tool.
The handle on the anchor point controls the curvature of the path. Make the rocket ship travel in a wide curve. Select the Selection tool and make sure the path is deselected. Move your pointer close to the path of the motion.
A curved icon appears next to your pointer, indicating that you can edit the path. Drag the path of the motion to change its curvature.
Choose the spots where you drag carefully! Each drag breaks the path into smaller segments, making it harder to achieve a smooth curve. Mastery will come with practice. In the motion picture splash page project, the orientation of the car is constant as it moves forward. However, in the rocket ship example, the rocket ship should follow the path with its nose pointed in the direction in which it is heading.
Orient To Path in the Properties panel gives you this option. Animate inserts keyframes for rotation along the motion tween to orient the nose of the rocket ship to the path of the motion. Use the Free Transform tool to rotate its initial position so that it is oriented correctly. This means that an object and its motion are independent of each other, and you can easily swap out the target of a motion tween.
Select the object that you want to swap on the Stage. In the Properties panel, click the Swap button. In the dialog box that appears, choose a new symbol 2 Click OK. Animate will swap the target of Animate replaces the rocket ship with the alien. The motion remains the same, the motion tween. Creating Nested Animations Often, an object that is animated on the Stage will have its own animation.
For example, the wings of a butterfly moving across the Stage may flap as it moves. Or the alien that you swapped with the rocket ship could be waving his arms.
These kinds of animations are called nested animations, because they are contained inside the movie clip symbols. Movie clip symbols have their own Timeline that is inde- pendent of the main Timeline.
The alien appears in the middle of the Stage. In the Timeline, the parts of the alien are separated in layers. A keyframe is inserted at the end of the motion tween. The left arm rotates smoothly from the resting position to the outstretched position. Right-click his right arm and choose Create Motion Tween. Animate inserts a keyframe at the end of the motion tween. The arm rotates smoothly from the resting position to the outstretched position.
To prevent the looping, 11 Click the Scene 1 button in the Edit bar at the top of the Stage to exit symbol- you need to add code to tell the movie clip editing mode. Timeline to stop on its Your animation of the alien raising his arms is complete. Wherever you use the last frame. JavaScript in later lessons. But you can also have nested animations and graphics inside of graphic symbols, although they work a little differently.
It will only play if there are sufficient frames on the main Timeline where the instance is placed. Because of the ease with which you can pick and choose what frame inside a graphic symbol shows, graphic symbols are ideal for lip syncing or other character variations.
Using the Frame Picker for phonemes If animated characters talk, their mouth will be synchronized with their words. Each sound, or phoneme, is produced by a different mouth shape. Animators draw a collection of these mouth positions to be used to synchronize to the soundtrack. You can store each mouth position as a keyframe in a graphic symbol. The file contains your familiar alien character on the Stage. The alien is not animated on a path, but his head is a graphic symbol with multiple keyframes inside of its Timeline.
Notice that the Timeline contains five keyframes in the mouth layer. Each keyframe shows the mouth in a different position. Frame 1 has a small closed mouth, frame 2 a rounded mouth, frame 3 a wide open mouth, and so on. Animate creates a SWF to play the animation.
Nothing happens because there is only a single frame on the main Timeline, and a graphic symbol needs frames on the main Timeline to play its own Timeline. Frames are added to both layers up to frame Animate plays the animation. The graphic symbol plays all of its five keyframes repeatedly during the 45 frames of the main Timeline.
Leave the value of the First field at 1. The Frame Picker panel opens. The Frame Picker shows thumbnail images of all the frames inside the graphic symbol. When the animation plays frame 12, the alien head graphic symbol will change to frame 4. When the animation reaches frame 14, the head symbol will switch to displaying frame 2. Easing Easing refers to the way in which a motion tween proceeds. You can think of easing as acceleration or deceleration.
An object that moves from one side of the Stage to the other side can start off slowly, then build up speed, and then stop suddenly. Or, the object can start off quickly and then gradually slow to a halt. Your keyframes indicate the beginning and end points of the motion, but the easing determines how your object gets from one keyframe to the next.
A simple way to apply easing to a motion tween is to use the Properties panel. A negative value creates a more gradual change from the starting position known as an ease-in. A positive value creates a gradual slowdown known as an ease-out. Splitting a motion tween Easing affects the entire span of a motion tween. If you want the easing to affect only frames between keyframes of a longer motion tween, you should split the motion tween.
However, the actual movement of the car starts at frame 75 and ends at frame The motion tween is cut into two separate tween spans. The end of the first tween is identical to the beginning of the second tween. The motion tweens of all three cars have now been split. This applies an ease-out to the motion tween. Animate plays the Timeline in a loop between frames 60 and so you can examine the ease-out motion of the three cars.
Frame-by-Frame Animation Frame-by-frame animation is a technique that creates the illusion of movement by making incremental changes between every keyframe.
Frame-by-frame animations increase your file size rapidly because Animate has to store the contents for each keyframe. Use frame-by-frame animation sparingly. When the movie clip loops, the car will rumble slightly to simulate the idle of the motor. Inserting a new keyframe The frame-by-frame animations inside the carMiddle and carRight movie clip sym- bols have already been done. Inside the carRight movie clip, three keyframes establish three different positions for the car and its headlights.
The keyframes are spaced unevenly to provide the unpredictable up and down motion. Animate inserts a keyframe in frame 2 of the lights layer and the smallRumble layer. The contents of the previous keyframes are copied into the new keyframes. Changing the graphics In the new keyframe, change the appearance of the contents to create the animation.
You can use the Properties panel to decrease the Y-position value by 1 pixel or press the Down Arrow key to nudge the graphics by 1 pixel. The car and its headlights move down slightly.
For a random motion like an idling car, at least three keyframes are ideal. Keyframes are inserted into frame 4 of the lights and smallRumble layers. You can use the Properties panel or automatically modify press the Up Arrow key twice to nudge the graphics by 2 pixels. Animating in 3D presents the added complication of a third z axis. When you choose the 3D Rotation or 3D Translation tool, you need to be aware of the Global Transform option at the bot- tom of the Tools panel.
Moving an object with the global option selected makes the transformation relative to the global coordinate system, whereas moving an object with the local option on makes the transformation relative to itself. Insert a new layer at the top of the layer stack and rename it title. The movietitle instance appears in your new layer in the keyframe at frame Animate converts the current layer to a tween layer so you can begin to animate the instance.
The 3D rotation control appears on the selected movie clip. That means controlling where to point the camera to frame the action, zooming in or out, panning, or even rotating the camera for special effect. All of these camera movements are available in Animate with the Camera tool. The Timeline contains added frames and a motion tween in the title layer. On the Stage, the camera controls appear.
Camera layer; it only hides it from view. To delete camera filters. Disable the Camera layer by choosing your Selection tool, or by clicking trash can icon. Your camera will initially hide a part of her face to create a little bit of mystery. There are two modes on the controls, one for Rotate and another for Zoom.
The Zoom mode should be highlighted. The Camera view zooms closer into the Stage. The slider snaps back to the center, allowing you to continue dragging to the right to continue zooming. You can also enter a numerical value for the zoom in the Properties panel in the Camera Properties section.
Your Stage shows a close-up view of the cityscape between the two main characters. As with any bitmap, zooming in too dramatically will reveal the limitations of the original embedded image. The contents of the Stage move to the right. So if you point your camera to the left, the objects in view will move to the right.
Animating a pan A pan is the motion of the camera left to right or up and down. In the context menu that appears, choose Create Motion Tween. A motion tween is added to the Camera layer, indicated by the blue-colored frames. Hold down the Shift key to constrain the motion to a straight vertical line. A new keyframe is established at frame 25, and Animate creates a smooth motion of the camera between the two keyframes.
Panning across the Stage Your viewers now see this mystery woman, who is looking to her left. But who or what is she looking at?
A new keyframe is automatically created at frame 70 with the camera in its new position. The camera pans across the Stage from left to right between frames 40 and The camera will hold its position from frame 70 to frame The Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, and Hue values appear, all of them with a value of 0. The view through the camera becomes desaturated and all the graphics on the Stage appear black and white. Animate creates a motion tween of the camera becoming more desaturated from frame to frame You can also use the integrated Controller at the bottom of the Timeline.
However, to preview your animation as your audience will see it and to preview any nested animations within movie clip symbols, you should test your movie. To exit Test Movie mode, click the Close window button.

However, to preview your animation as your audience will see it and to preview any nested animations within movie clip symbols, you should test your movie. To exit Test Movie mode, click the Close window button. For example, animations with HTML5 or on mobile devices often rely on sequential PNG files or a single file that packs all the images organized in rows and columns, known as a sprite sheet.
The sprite sheet is accompanied by a data file that describes the position of each image, or sprite, in the file. Generating either PNG sequences or a sprite sheet of your animation is easy.
First, your animation must be within a movie clip symbol. In the next steps, you select the destination on your hard drive for your images and the dimensions of your images.
For a sprite sheet, right-click the symbol and choose Generate Sprite Sheet. The Generate Sprite Sheet dialog box that appears provides different options, such as sizing, background color, and the particular data format. Click Export to output the sprite sheet and data file. Review Answers 1 A motion tween requires a symbol instance on the Stage and its own layer, which is called a tween layer. No other tween or drawing object can exist on the tween layer. Keyframes are specific to each property, so that a motion tween can have keyframes for position that are different from keyframes for transparency.
You can also choose the Convert Anchor Point tool and Subselection tool to pull out handles at the anchor points. The handles control the curvature of the path.
Without easing, a motion tween proceeds linearly, where the same amount of change happens over time. An ease-in makes an object begin its animation slowly, and an ease-out makes an object end its animation slowly. Use the Camera tool to zoom in to a different part of the Stage, zoom out to show more, rotate, or pan.
You can also use the Camera tool to adjust the tint or color effect of the view. See Creative Cloud Libraries Control menu, defining generally, — character animation.

The camera pans across the Stage from left to right between frames 40 and The camera will hold its position from frame 70 to frame The Brightness, Contrast, Saturation, and Hue values appear, all of them with a value of 0.
The view through the camera becomes desaturated and all the graphics on the Stage appear black and white. Animate creates a motion tween of the camera becoming more desaturated from frame to frame You can also use the integrated Controller at the bottom of the Timeline. However, to preview your animation as your audience will see it and to preview any nested animations within movie clip symbols, you should test your movie.
To exit Test Movie mode, click the Close window button. For example, animations with HTML5 or on mobile devices often rely on sequential PNG files or a single file that packs all the images organized in rows and columns, known as a sprite sheet. The sprite sheet is accompanied by a data file that describes the position of each image, or sprite, in the file.
Generating either PNG sequences or a sprite sheet of your animation is easy. First, your animation must be within a movie clip symbol. In the next steps, you select the destination on your hard drive for your images and the dimensions of your images. For a sprite sheet, right-click the symbol and choose Generate Sprite Sheet.
The Generate Sprite Sheet dialog box that appears provides different options, such as sizing, background color, and the particular data format. Click Export to output the sprite sheet and data file. Review Answers 1 A motion tween requires a symbol instance on the Stage and its own layer, which is called a tween layer. No other tween or drawing object can exist on the tween layer. Keyframes are specific to each property, so that a motion tween can have keyframes for position that are different from keyframes for transparency.
You can also choose the Convert Anchor Point tool and Subselection tool to pull out handles at the anchor points. The handles control the curvature of the path. Without easing, a motion tween proceeds linearly, where the same amount of change happens over time. An ease-in makes an object begin its animation slowly, and an ease-out makes an object end its animation slowly. Use the Camera tool to zoom in to a different part of the Stage, zoom out to show more, rotate, or pan.
You can also use the Camera tool to adjust the tint or color effect of the view. See Creative Cloud Libraries Control menu, defining generally, — character animation.
