Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 894)

4 Move the playhead to the frame where you want the animation to begin, and click the
Record button (A) to turn on keyframing.
5 In the Canvas, select and drag one or more glyphs to a new position—the start position
of the animation sequence.
6 Go to the frame you want the animation to end, and drag the glyphs to their ending
positions.
An editable animation path is created for the keyframed glyphs. You can add and remove
control points and change the shape of the path in the Canvas. For more information on
working with animation paths, see
Manipulating Animation Paths in the Canvas .
7 Move the playhead back to the start frame and play the project (press the Space bar).
The glyphs animate from their starting positions to their ending positions.
Note: The other options in the Attribute pop-up menu, Face, Outline, Glow, and Drop
Shadow, can be animated in the same manner as the Transform Glyph option.
The animation path can be edited in the Canvas. For more information, see Manipulating
Animation Paths in the Canvas .
