Other ways to affect Timing:
- Roving Keyframe
- Time Reverse Layer
- Time Stretch layer
- Freeze Frame
- Time Remapping / Loop Out
- Render Queue / make a GIF
Exercise
- Create an 8 second Work Area on the Main Timeline
- Animate the 6 looping Squares along the Grid in straight lines (no diagonals!)
- The moving Squares should not overlap
- Explore different types of Timing in the Keyframes
- The objective end goal of this exercise is that the 8 second animation should Loop.
Key Steps / Learning
- Understand different types of Keyframes
- Prepare the Main Timeline: use Markers, create In and Out points and Colour code Layers
- Understand Time Remapping
- Simple Expressions: Loop Out
