There are two different drag modes that affect how strokes are reshaped when you
move a selected group of control points.
•
If Linear Drag mode is selected, all selected control points move the same amount.
•
If Magnet Drag mode is selected, the points nearest the pointer move the most. To
temporarily activate this mode, press and hold the Z key and drag.
Animating Strokes
There are several ways you can animate paint strokes:
•
You can keyframe the movement of selected points using the standard Autokey
controls to set keyframes for paint strokes in Interp mode.
•
You can animate the startPoint and endPoint parameters to animate the completion
of a stroke along the defined stroke path.
•
You can attach a tracker to a paint stroke.
