===== Animation Tab =====

The Animation Tab is shown below.This provides the various adjustments and parameters to control animation of objects.

{{:en-us:11.0:animationtab-01.jpg|animationtab-01.jpg}}

  * For Pan and Rotate, adjustments can be made in three planes
      * X,Y and Z for Pan
      * C,Y and X for Rotate
  * These adjustments replace the 3D parameters provided in Version 8.
  * A new adjustment called Framing is provided (see [[:en-us:11.0:objectsandanimation_1:animation_tab|Framing]])
  * The Color Correction parameters have been expanded in Version 9 ([[:en-us:11.0:objectsandanimation_1:animation_tab|Color Correction]])
  * The "Key Frame Time" box shows the time (in milliseconds) of the selected Key Frame




===== Parameter Controls =====

==== Display Mode for Pan and Zoom ====

Click on the "%" sign or the "100%" sign:

    * "%" = Percentage Mode
    * "px" = Pixels Mode
    * "pt" = Original Points Mode
    * "100%" = Full Height of Project Screen
    * "Original Pixels" =  The Original Pixel Size of the Image

{{en-us:11.0:animationtab-02.jpg}}

The Illustration below shows a 640×480 rectangle at Original Size in a 1920×1080 Project

    * In Percentage Mode:

    * The values for "X" and "Y" Pan are calculated for the Centre of the Object/Rectangle with respect to the Centre of the Slide
    * The value of the Zoom Parameter is the percentage of the Full Height of the Project Screen (in this case 1080 pixels)
    * 480/1080= 0.44444444444 = 44.44444444%

{{en-us:11.0:animationtab-03.jpg}}

    * In Pixels Mode:

    * The values for "X" and "Y" Pan are calculated for the Top Left Corner of the Object/Rectangle with respect to the Top Left Corner of the Slide
    * The value of the Zoom Parameter is the Pixel Size of the Object/Rectangle

{{en-us:11.0:animationtab-04.jpg}}

    * In Points Mode

{{en-us:11.0:animationtab-05.jpg}}

==== The Centre Control ====

    * The "CENTRE" Control can be used to move the CENTRE or "Point of Rotation" of an Object as shown below:

{{en-us:11.0:animationtab-06.jpg}}

==== The Rotate Control ====

    * The "Rotate C" Control will rotate an Object about its Centre Point in the same plane as the screen:

{{en-us:11.0:animationtab-07.jpg}}

    * The "Rotate Y" Control will rotate an Object about its Centre Point in 3 Dimensions Horizontally:

{{en-us:11.0:animationtab-08.jpg}}

    * The "Rotate X" Control will rotate an Object about its Centre Point in 3 Dimensions Vertically:

{{en-us:11.0:animationtab-09.jpg}}

    * The "C", "Y" and "X" Rotate Controls can be used simultaneously:

{{en-us:11.0:animationtab-10.jpg}}

==== Changing Parameters with the Mouse ====

    * Place the Mouse on any Letter (e.g. X,Y or Z in the Pan Controls) and click and drag left or Right
    * You can also Right Click on any Letter and access commonly used Preset Values (See Right Click Menus below)
    * You can "double click" on any letter to change the value back to its default state

==== Keyboard Entry ====

    * In any box, highlight the existing value and type in a new value

OR Place the cursor in a box and:

    * UP arrow on Keyboard increases the value by one unit
    * DOWN arrow decreases the value by one unit
    * Pg Up on Keyboard increases the value by ten units
    * Pg Dn on Keyboard decreases the value by ten units

The UNITS depend on the chosen Display Mode:

    * In % Mode the units will increase/decrease by 1% or 10% of the Parent Frame (or Background)
    * In Px Mode the units will increase/decrease by 1 Pixel or 10 Pixels - relative to Project Size
    * In Pt Mode the units will increase/decrease by 1 Pixel or 10 Pixels relative to the Original size of the Object

**Pan**

    * The parameters can be read in Percentage, Pixels or Original Points

    * X - Horizontal movement of the Object relative to the width of the Object's Parent Frame
    * Y - Vertical movement of the Object relative to the height of the Object's Parent Frame
    * Z - Zoom - "Closer to" or "further away from" the viewer

**Zoom**

    * The parameters can be read in Percentage, Pixels or Original Points

    * X - The horizontal dimension relative to the native size/resolution of the Object's Parent Frame
    * Y - The vertical dimension relative to the native size/resolution of the Object's Parent Frame
    * With the "Chain Link" deselected the object can be distorted
    * With the "Chain Link" restored the distorted image/object can be scaled
    * Shift + Click and Drag on the "bounding box" will temporarily "unlink" the X and Y parameters and allow the object to be "distorted"
    * Click on 100% to return to default settings (100%)

The UNITS depend on the chosen Display Mode:

    * In % Mode 100% = 100% of the Parent (Slide / Frame etc)
    * In Px Mode the Pixel Dimensions of the Object are shown
    * In Pt Mode 100% = 100% of the Native Pixels of the Object

==== Framing ====

    * Framing can be used to Pan and/or Zoom an Image within a Frame without modifying the frame itself
    * Framing can also be used to adjust an Aspect Ratio mismatch

    * In the example below a 4:3 image is shown within a 3:2 frame at 90% of full screen in a 16:9 Project.
    * In the default 100% Scaling (S) the 4:3 Image has been "cut off" at the top and bottom of the Image and "Fits" the Width of the 3:2 Frame.

{{en-us:11.0:animationtab-11.jpg}}

    * By adjusting the "S", "X" and "Y" Controls a "Best Fit" composition can be achieved
    * Further Panning and Zooming is possible

{{en-us:11.0:animationtab-12.jpg}}

==== Opacity and Blur ====

    * The Illustration shows Main Image used as a Background Image at 100% Opacity and Zero Blur

{{en-us:11.0:animationtab-13.jpg}}

    * The following Illustration shows the same Background Image with reduced Opacity and a little Blur

{{en-us:11.0:animationtab-14.jpg}}

  * Choosing Gauss Extended in Properties/Blur Mode prevents the vignetting effect which happens with Gauss Blur in a full screen image
  * Additional controls are offered for Directional and Bokeh Blur Modes
  * D controls the Direction of the Blur
  * B controls the intensity of the Bokeh Blur

{{:en-us:11.0:objectsandanimation_1:animationtab-14a.jpg|}}





==== Modifiers ====

  * Modifiers can be applied to an Animation of an Object / Image between two Key Frames
  * The Modifier is applied to the first Key Fame of a pair of Key Frames defining the animation
  * Click on "Add Modifier"

{{:en-us:11.0:animationtab-22.jpg|animationtab-22.jpg}}

  * The drop-down shows a number of options, the first being Animation Speed

{{:en-us:11.0:objectsandanimation_1:animationtab-23.jpg|}}

  * Acceleration - the animation starts "slowly" and builds up to a maximum
  * Slow Down - the animation starts at maximum speed and finishes smoothly
  * Smooth - Starts an ends smoothly, with the maximum speed in the middle
  * Custom - Linear Acceleration to the Middle of the animation and Linear Deceleration to the finish - a starting point for a Custom Setting

{{:en-us:11.0:animationtab-24.jpg|animationtab-24.jpg}}

==== Smooth Move ====

  * To use the Smooth Move modifier it is necessary to have at least 3 keyframes and apply this modifier to the middle keyframe.
  * It creates a Bezier curve for the motion.

{{:en-us:11.0:objectsandanimation_1:animationtab-25a.jpg}}


==== Pan X; PanY; Pan Z====

  * Pan, Zoom, Rotate etc all have a set of modifiers labelled:
      * Oscillation
      * Jumping
      * Ping Pong
      * Shift

{{:en-us:11.0:objectsandanimation_1:animationtab-25.jpg|}}
