Parent and Child Animation

Parent and Child Animation in Rotating Objects

  • This “How To” deals with using Parent and Child relationships to rotate an Object/Image through 180 degrees and see the “Back” side of the image as a different Object/Image

Add An Image

  • Add an image to the Slide in Objects and Animation and add a Key-Frame at the end of the time line
  • Click on KF2 and set Rotate to 180 degrees
  • Play the animation

  • At KF2 we now see the reversed image

Add the new reverse side (Child) image

  • Return the cursor to KF1
  • With the original image highlighted in the Objects Panel, add a new image
  • Note that the new image is a Child of the Original Image

  • Rotate the Child image by 180 degrees
  • In Properties, Untick the Child Image “Show Back Side”

  • Highlight the KF1 for the Original Image
  • Play the Animation
  • The Original Image rotates through 180 degrees revealing the Child Image behind

Enhancements

  • Add Framing and Border to both Parent and Child Images to Zoom in (or out of) while Rotating
