Turn on keyframe recording in the transport controls under the Canvas (or press A).

Move the playhead to the frame where you want to change the shape, then make any necessary

changes to the shape’s control points.

In the Keyframe Editor (and also in the Timeline, if the Show/Hide Keyframes button is turned
on), a keyframe appears for each adjustment you make at a new frame.

Note: Adjusting a shape while the playhead is on an existing keyframe adjusts the shape at
that keyframe.

Continue advancing frames and making changes.

Every time you make a change to the shape at a new frame, you create a keyframe in that
shape’s Shape Animation parameter.

5

When you are done animating the shape, disable Record.
