Document Summary

How to create realistic motion: consider timing and spacing of keyframes, consider playing with ease accelerating/decelerating, follow through object still moves after thing it"s joined to stops, anticipation something prepares for action, squash and stretch objects get longer/flatter. Animated gifs: formally called multi-block gifs, file size size of gif (dimensions), number of colours, number of frames, no plug-ins required, no sound, you can use photoshop. Bought by adobe in 2005: supports vector graphics, flash player preinstalled on machines, animation choreographed using 1 or more sequential timelines, tween create intermediate frames from start keyframe/end keyframe. Create tween, then go to frame and move object: that frame becomes a keyframe. Non symbol shapes and vector graphics only. Manually create all keyframes, connect with tween. Can"t morph (only position and rotation: motion guide lets you animate object along a path you draw yourself.
