Record button: When the Record button is enabled (in the transport controls), any

change in value to a parameter—whether in the Canvas, a Dashboard, or the

Inspector—results in the creation of a keyframe.

Animation menu: Located in the Inspector, this menu allows you to set explicit

keyframes at any time, for any parameter. For each keyframe, you add a keyframe first,

then adjust the parameter. The Record button does not need to be enabled to add

keyframes with the Animation menu. For more information, see “K

eyframing in the

Inspector” on page 114.

Creating keyframes from applied behaviors: You can create keyframes by “baking” a

behavior or behaviors that have been applied to an object. Since a behavior merely

applies a value range to an object’s parameter, this gives you additional control over

the effect and timing of a behavior. For more information, see “C

onverting Behaviors to

Keyframes” on page 118.

Creating Keyframes in the Canvas

In this section, the position of a text object is keyframed so that the text moves across

the screen over time. The easiest way to set up this type of basic animation (aside from

using a behavior) is with the onscreen controls in the Canvas. In this example,

Animation Path is enabled in the View menu so that you can clearly see the animation

as it is created. Once keyframes are created, you can edit the animation path in the

Canvas, as well as modify the keyframes in the Keyframe Editor.

To move an object across the screen:

1 In the transport controls, enable Record (or press A).

2 Go to the frame where you want to begin the animation.

Note: To quickly navigate to a specific frame, type the frame number in the Current

Frame field (to the left of the transport controls).
