When a Framing behavior is applied and selected, the controls in the Canvas allow you to
create a custom framing size and shape, and to visually adjust the Framing Offset and the Offset
Path Apex.
Create a custom framing size and shape
m
With the Framing behavior selected in the Layers list or Timeline, click any corner of the white
framing control in the Canvas.
Adjust the Offset Path Apex
m
With the Framing behavior selected in the Layers list or Timeline, drag the small white box along
the diagonal white line to reposition the apex.
Adjust the Framing Offset

With the Framing behavior selected in the Layers list or Timeline, drag the onscreen control or
any colored arrow.
Sweep
Pivots the camera across a specified arc.
Parameters in the Inspector
•
Start: A dial that sets the camera’s starting angle relative to its current orientation. A nonzero
value causes the camera to jump to this value at the start of the behavior.
•
End: A dial that sets the camera’s final angle relative to its Start parameter value.
•
Speed: A pop-up menu that sets the type of interpolation used for the rotation. The value can
be set to Constant, Ease In, Ease Out, Ease Both, Accelerate, or Decelerate.
•
Axis: A pop-up menu that sets the axis around which the sweep occurs. Value can be set to Tilt
X, Swivel Y, or Roll Z.
The HUD contains the same controls as the Inspector.
Zoom In/Out
Animates the camera’s Angle of View parameter.
Parameters in the Inspector
•
Zoom: A slider that sets a proportional value to modify the camera’s Angle of View parameter.
For more information about the Angle of View parameter, see
on page 929.
•
Speed: A pop-up menu that sets the type of interpolation for the movement. The value can be
set to Constant, Ease In, Ease Out, Ease Both, Accelerate, or Decelerate.
The HUD contains the same controls as the Inspector.
Zoom Layer
Moves a camera to the position of a target object’s anchor point. When the camera reaches the
object’s anchor point, the angle of view changes while offsetting the camera’s position based
on the Zoom parameter. (This parameter is set to 0 by default so no animation of the Angle of
View occurs.)
This behavior also lets you animate the camera’s Angle of View during the camera’s movement,
based on the behavior’s Transition value. For more information about the Angle of View
parameter, see
on page 929.
Parameters in the Inspector
•
Object: An image well to set the target of the camera’s movement. Drag an object from the
Layers list into the well.
