Keyframes and Curves

Animation in Motion

There are several different places in Motion where you can create and edit keyframes
and the values between them, which are represented by animation curves. For
example, you can animate basic properties such as scale, rotation, and screen position
by simply manipulating the object directly in the Canvas when the Record button is
enabled.

When Record is enabled, a keyframe is created for any parameter that is adjusted. This
includes parameters adjusted in the Canvas, Inspector, or Dashboard. In the Recording
Options dialog (or press Option+A), you can enable the “Record keyframes on
animated parameters only” option, which adds keyframes only to parameters that are
already animated (keyframed)—even when Record is enabled. For more information,
see “

Recording Keyframes on Animated Parameters Only

” on page 451.
