Creating Motion Keyframes
T-LAY-004-001
After you have created the key poses, you can animate the in-between poses yourself or let Harmony do it using motion keyframes. When you use motion keyframes, the drawings gradually move to the next position instead of staying on the spot until the next keyframe.
How to create motion keyframes
- In the top menu, make sure the Animation > Stop-Motion Keyframe option is disabled.
- In the Timeline view, select the cell on which you want to add a keyframe.
- Do one of the following:
- Right-click on the selection and select Insert Keyframe.
- Click the Add Keyframe
button in the Timeline toolbar.
- Press F6.
- In the Camera view, if the Animate mode is enabled, as soon as you move the selected element, a keyframe will be automatically created on the current frame.
How to convert a stop-motion keyframe into a motion keyframe
- In the Timeline view, select the stop-motion keyframes to convert into motion keyframes.
- Do one of the following:
- Right-click on the selection and select Set Motion Keyframe.
- Click the Motion Keyframe
button in the Timeline View toolbar.
