1. Within the Active Motion box, Z key + click (Win) 

/ 3 + click (Mac) the area where the Sequence

Value text box indicates 25, then drag to add a new

Point with a Motion Point value of 25, Sequence

Joint value of -150.

Z key + click (Win) / Option key + click (Mac) the

Sequence Value to 25 within the Active Motion box

And drag the mouse to set the Sequence Joint value to -150

Modifying the Tangent Handles

of a Motion Point

When you added the Motion Point in the previous

section, you may have noticed that the tangent

handles were also created automatically.

By using these tangent handles, you can control the

Sequence Path before and after the Motion Point.

1. Move the tangent handles of the middle Motion Point 

and check to see how the Sequence Path changes.

When modifying a tangent handle, the [Auto Smooth]

check box is turned off automatically, which means

the automatic smoothing will not be performed.

You cannot delete the tangent handles of a Motion

Point. To make a straight Sequence Path, the [Cusp]

check box (described later) will be used.

Before proceeding to the next page, switch the Auto

Smooth check box on again.
