Using Effects to Create Animation
Using Effects to Create Animation
You can create the following four visual effects from the Effect drop-down list at the Toolbar in the Animation Timeline pane:
· Fade In – changes the opacity of selection from higher to lower
· Fade Out – changes the opacity of selection from lower to higher
· Flash – flashes a part or parts in the selected color
· Rotate – rotates a part or parts clockwise or counter-clockwise
|
|
The same Effects involving the same parts cannot be overlapped. Fade In and Fade Out are considered the same effect technically. |
