To insert keyframes:
Creating Animations 215
1. From the Storyboard tab, select a keyframe and choose Insert.
2. From the dialog, choose the Number of keyframes to add to the
Storyboard tab. Set a default Keyframe duration for each created
keyframe.
3. Choose to add keyframe(s) at a Location before or after the currently
selected keyframe or before/after the first or last keyframe.
4. (Optional) Check Insert blank keyframes if you don't want to include
run forward objects in your keyframes. Blank frames are useful "filler"
frames that add breaks in your animation for messages, logos, etc.
5. Click OK.
An inserted frame will honour any animation runs that may transect it if the
Insert blank keyframes setting remains unchecked (by creating an additional
tweened object). If checked, the blank frame will break any transecting
animation path(s) and not add tweened objects.
Once you've created a keyframe sequence you can sub-divide or split any
selected keyframe further.
To split a selected keyframe:
• Click the Split keyframe button on the Storyboard tab.
• From the dialog, enter the number of divisions that the keyframe is to
be split into, then click OK. Each new keyframe's duration is an equal
division of the original keyframe's duration.
To view or edit a particular keyframe:
• Select a keyframe in the Storyboard tab.
Use your keyboard's Page Up and Page Down keys to navigate
along your animation storyboard.
To delete a keyframe:
• Select the keyframe and choose Delete.
