Adding animation effects to objects
By setting a number of change points during the display time of an object, you can make it appear to move.
1
Right-click an object you have created
and select [Animation] – [ON].
This enables the animation settings, and the start point for the
object’s action appears in the track.
● You can also enable animations by selecting the object and
checking [Enable animation].
2
Move the playback position bar to the point
you want to set as the change point (
A
).
3
Change the object’s settings.
The icon for the changed item turns red. The change point
is set at the position ( A ) where the object and the bar
intersect.
● You can move the change point by dragging it, or delete/copy
it by right-clicking it. To delete all change points, right-click the
object in the track and select [Delete all key frames].
Stamp and pen animation
In addition to regular animation, you can trace a stamp
movement or a pen drawing along with the playback of a
motion picture.
1 Click the playback button.
2 Create a drawing by dragging with the mouse pointer
in the preview window.
●
When you click [Countdown playback], first [3], [2], [1]
appear on the screen, and then the playback starts. This
makes it easier to adjust the timing for beginning the pen
drawing or the stamp moving.

Example of animations you can create
< - Object crosses screen from left to right in 8 seconds.>
00:00:00 00:00:08
●
You can create a change point where only the position information
differs from the start point either by raising the X value of [Position]
with the position bar at 8 seconds after the display start point, or by
dragging the object on the screen to the right.
< - Object fades in as it crosses the screen from left to right in 8
seconds.>
00:00:00 00:00:08
●
In addition, set the [Opacity] to 0 at the start point, and to 1 at the
change point to make the object transparent.
