Keyholes and Tweening



KEYHOLES:

This is an example of how to use the key holes to move an object. To use do this, I picked a pre drawn animation which lasted for three frames, but you can do it with any drawing, mine was a spaceship with simple movements. I just repeatedly pasted this animation so it went over thirty frames. I then added a key hole, to the first frame and the thirtieth frame. On the left hand side of he screen, is the 'tools'. You can use this to move the certain frames and the other frames are automatically adjusted t match it. It is an easy and effective way to move objects using animationish.

Key frames is a much faster and more effective way to move objects around. In stead of having to change a little bit on thirty slides, just duplicate 30 times, and two key holes and move the last image wher you want it to end up.

TWEENING:
Tweening is the name given to the slides in between the keyholes. It gives the illusion that thre object is moving along smoothly. It is more effective, for me at least, as I am not a very good drawer and it gives a much better finished effect.
