Fine-tuning Animation
2 Choose Layer > Enable Time Remapping.
3 Click the triangle to the left of the layer name to expand the layer outline.
4 Click the triangle to the left of the Time Remap heading to display the time graph for
time remapping.
5 Move the current-time marker to the frame where you want change to begin, and then
click the keyframe check box.
6 On the Time Remap graph below the keyframe, drag the Value graph marker, watching
the Time Remap value as you drag. To prevent the graph from dropping below the dotted
line, press Shift as you drag the graph marker.
Dragging the value graph marker down slows down the layer.
• To slow down the layer, drag the Value graph marker down. (If the layer is playing in
reverse, drag up.)
• To speed up the layer, drag the Value graph marker up. (If the layer is playing in reverse,
drag down.)
• To play frames backward, drag the Value graph marker down to a value below the
previous keyframe value.
• To play frames forward, drag the Value graph marker up to a value above the previous
keyframe value.
• To freeze the previous keyframe, drag the Value graph marker up to a value equal to the
previous keyframe value so that the graph line is flat. Another method is to select the
keyframe and choose Animation > Toggle Hold Keyframe, and then add another keyframe
where you want the motion to start again.
