Animating in the Canvas
The easiest way to perform basic keyframing is to modify objects directly in the Canvas.
The most common effects that you can create with keyframes are changes to Scale,
Rotation, and Position. Additional parameters that can be keyframed in the Canvas include
Shear, Pivot, Drop Shadow, Crop, and Four Corner. While many of these techniques can
also be performed using behaviors, keyframing gives you the added flexibility to set
specific values on precise frames.
