Using Gestures
The following illustration shows the basic gesture anatomy. The green dot represents the
start of the gesture; the blue arrow is the direction of your gesture; and the red dot the
end of the gesture. Draw the gesture on the tablet, with your pointer in the Motion Canvas
or Timeline.

Modifier Keys
Many gestures have additional functionality when used in combination with a key on the
keyboard. In the following tables, if a gesture has an entry in the Modifier keys column,
it has additional functionality that is accessed by using a shortcut key. For example, if you
have the Control key set as the gesture trigger, and you draw the play forward gesture,
the project plays forward from the current time. If you press Control-Shift and draw the
play forward gesture, the project plays from the start of the project.
The Motion Gestures
The following tables describe the available Motion gestures and their modifier keys, where
