Advanced Motion Lab

The Advanced Motion Lab lets you fine tune your animations. After you've created your key frames using the Animation Controls, you can use the tools available in this lab to control the speed at which objects move along a motion path, adjust the position of key frames, and preview your changes. Use the Velocity Curve editor to create different velocity effects and the Hierarchy area to control when object transformations occur.

The Advanced Motion Lab button opens the Advanced Motion Lab, which contains tools that let you control the detailed properties of your animation.

You can use the lab to:

• view the hierarchical structure of your scene
• rearrange the sequence of key events for individual object properties
• remap the time it takes to move from one key event to another
• preview your animation

The Advanced Motion Lab is divided into four areas:

• The Hierarchy List Area, located in the bottom-left corner of the window.
• The Sequencer Area, in the bottom center of the window.
• The Time Mapping Curve Editor, located at the top-left of the window.
• The Preview Area, located at the top right of the window.
