Apple Motion 2 Getting Started - Manual (Page 115)

Chapter 3 Your No. 2 Pencil 115
A gray diamond that represents the keyframe appears to the right of the parameter
name. Whenever you are parked on a frame that contains a keyframe, the diamond
appears filled in.
5 Go to the frame in which you want to end the fade in.
6 Drag the Opacity slider to 100 (or enter 100 in the value field).
If you move to a frame that does not contain an Opacity keyframe, the diamond
appears outlined rather than solid. This indicates that the parameter is animated, but
you are not currently on a frame that contains a keyframe.
7 Disable the Record button (press A).
To animate opacity in the Inspector using the Animation menu:
1 In the transport controls, ensure that Record is disabled.
2 Select the object that you want to animate.
3 Go to the frame where you want to begin the fade in.
4 In the Blending section of the object’s Inspector > Properties tab, drag the Opacity
slider to 0 (or enter 0 in the value field).
The gray diamond indicates an Opacity
keyframe (with a value of 0 percent) at
the current frame.
