70 Tutorial 2 Basic Motion Behaviors
Good Housekeeping
In the Layers tab, notice that the duplicated dolphin objects are given default “copy”
names. When working with motion graphics projects, it is recommended that you give
your objects descriptive names to easily identify those objects when your project
becomes more complex.
To rename the dolphins objects:
1 In the Layers tab, double-click the name of the dolphins object.
The text field becomes active.
2 Type “dolphin-left.”
3 Press Return.
4 Rename dolphins copy to “dolphin-center” and dolphins copy 1 to “dolphin-right.”
Applying a Behavior to the Dolphin Objects
In this section, you apply a Fade In/Fade Out behavior to the first dolphin object. Next,
you apply a Fade In/Fade Out behavior to the second and third dolphin objects
simultaneously.
To apply the Fade In/Fade Out behavior to the first (left) dolphin object:
1 If the project is not playing, click the Play button (or press the Space bar).
2 In the Library (click the Library tab or press Command+2), select the Behaviors
category, then select the Basic Motion subcategory.
3 In the Library stack, select the Fade In/Fade Out behavior.
As with all items in the Library, a preview of the behavior plays in the Preview area.
