Slider
Slider widgets let you select values interpolated between snapshots. When you drag the
slider, the affected parameters change gradually, ramping between the values of adjacent
snapshots. Each snapshot assigned to a slider is represented by a separate snapshot tag—a
small shaded circle underneath the slider widget.
Double-click the area below the slider to add snapshot tags. Parameters at this position
inherit their values based on the interpolation point between the two snapshot tags. For
example, in a slider mapped to the Color parameter, adding a tag midway between
snapshot tags set to red and blue generates a snapshot set to purple.
Snapshot tags can be dragged left and right and even reordered.
To delete a snapshot tag, drag it away from the area under the slider.
Clicking a snapshot tag sets the value of the slider to the tag's value and enables the tag’s
snapshot for editing. Setting the slider to values between tags causes the rigged parameter
values to be interpolated between the surrounding snapshot values.
The activation checkboxes in the Rig Inspector (highlighted blue when selected) and in
the Layers list (beside the slider widget) have no effect on the constituent parameters of
the slider.
Slider widgets contain the following controls in the Rig Inspector and Widget Inspector:
Slider: Use this widget control to move between snapshots. The snapshot tags beneath
the slider indicate the saved snapshots.
