Keyframes and Curves

Note: To view the animation paths of keyframed objects, ensure Animation Path is
selected in the View pop-up menu.

When the Record button is off, changes you make modify the entire animation globally.
For example, if an object is keyframed to fly from the lower left to the center of the
screen, dragging the object to the right when the Record button is off moves the entire
path to the right.

Note: If you are positioned on a previously set keyframe, any changes you make
modify that individual keyframe rather than the entire curve, regardless of whether the
Record button is on or off.

Applying Movement to a Clip

Since moving objects onscreen is so fundamental to motion graphics, Motion makes it
especially easy.

To move an object across the screen:

1

Click the Record button (or press A) to enable record.

2

Place the playhead at the starting frame.
