Keyframing Shape Animation
You can also keyframe a shape’s animation parameter to animate adjustments to its
individual control points. This opens up powerful animation possibilities, since you can
reform an entire shape using keyframe animation.
To keyframe a shape’s control points:
1 Use the Adjust Control Points tool to select the shape you want to animate.
Its control points appear. In this example, the selected shape is the lower lip of the
mouth illustration.
2 Enable Record (press A).
