Activity 1: Animating a Butterfly on a Trajectory
T-ANIMIP-006-001
In this video, you will learn how to animate a butterfly frame-by-frame and parent it to a computer generated trajectory called peg. You will also learn about the Animate mode and keyframes. You will see how to generate motion and stop-motion keyframes to manage the interpolation between your keys. You will learn about temporary and permanent pivots, as well as the Transform tool and the Advanced Animation tools.
To make the motion more natural, you will learn how to adjust the easing on the computer generated curve to generate slow in and slow out. To mix paperless animation and keyframe animation, you will see how to use the dragging modes, cycles, and how to duplicate drawings.
To complete the staging of your scene, you will learn how to create a camera motion.
