Keyframe animation tips and tricks

So far the emphasis has been on creating simple animations from scratch,

keyframe/object control, and how change over time is affected.

In order to go one step further, and create more complex animations, you may

want to explore more advanced features ranging from using Keyframe camera

effects, applying masking effects, and changing an object's state.

Using the Keyframe camera

The camera effect lets you pan, zoom or rotate areas of your animation to create

a more interesting visual appeal. Especially useful if you want to focus on parts

of your animation (e.g., a main cartoon character or a company logo, telephone

number, or web address), the feature is very powerful and should be used

without making too many dramatic transformations (try zooming by small

amounts over the animation duration).

To enable the Keyframe camera:

1. Select a keyframe to which you want to apply a pan, zoom or rotate

operation.

2. To enable, click the

button on the Storyboard tab. A

single rectangular bounding box (shown with a solid blue border) is

shown around the page which defines the visible area to be displayed.

You'll notice a camera appear as a layer entry under the current layer

in the Layers tab.

3. Reposition and/or resize the bounding box to set an initial view level

that the animation can display.
