Optional: Adding a Second Dolphin Clip

As a final optional step, you can add the second dolphin clip to the project and—you
guessed it—fade the clip! Once the new clip is imported, change the color and blend
mode of the circleText object.

To add the dolphin jump clip from the Media tab:

1

In the Layers tab, select the graphics layer.

2

Click the Media tab.

3

Drag the dolphin jump object to the center of the Canvas.

4

By default, the object is added above the other objects within the graphics layer.

5

In the Layers tab, move the dolphin jump object to the bottom of the graphics layer.

The dolphin jump object is the bottommost object in the project.

To apply and modify the fade in:

1

Make sure the dolphin jump object is selected.

2

In the Toolbar, click the Add Behavior icon, then choose the Fade In/Fade Out behavior
from the Basic Motion submenu.

3

In the Fade In/Fade Out Dashboard, set the logo to fade in over 30 frames and to fade
out over 30 frames.

4

In the Behavior tab of the Inspector, set the Start Offset value to 20.

The dolphin jump object fades in from 0 to 100 percent from frame 20 to frame 50, and
fades out over the last 30 frames.
