To change the shape of the path, do one of the following:

m

Click either point at the end of the path to change the path’s start and end location.

m

To create Bezier handles at the end points, Command-click and drag away from the
point. Flattening out the motion path at a control point slows the animation of the
object as it approaches the point. This is also known as ease.

m

To add points to the path, Option-click or double-click the path.

For more information on working with paths, points, and handles, see “

Using

Animation Paths

” on page 106.

In the Motion Path Dashboard or Inspector, you can quickly create an ease in or out
without having to manually adjust the shape of the path.
