Keyframes and Curves

The object is scaled over the interval you set. In this same way, you can keyframe any of
the transformation parameters for your object.

You can also Control-click the object to display the Transform shortcut menu where
you can choose to modify the Pivot, Shear, Drop Shadow, Four Corner, and Crop
parameters. When set to Transform, you can scale the object by its corners and rotate it
by using the center control.

For more information on object transformations in the

Canvas, see “

Object and Layer Transforms in the Canvas

” on page 221.

When the Record button is on, each time you move the playhead to a new frame, any
change you make to an object automatically generates new keyframes. When
animating an object’s position, an animation path is created.
