Adding Motion Points with the Motion Point Tab

You can use the Motion Point tab to add motion points and modify their values.

To add motion points with the Motion Point tab:

1. Select the peg you want to affect from the Timeline window. The peg appears in all View windows.

2. Select Tools > Sceneplanning Tools > Motion. This activates the Motion tool. The control points and keyframes appears on the motion path. If there is no motion path in the peg, you will only see the first and last keyframes stacked on top of each other in the View windows.

3. Click a motion point on the motion path. The Motion Point tab opens in the Properties window.

4. Click the New button at the bottom of the Motion Point tab. The Add Motion Point dialog box opens.

5. Select the type of motion point you want to add from the Point type drop-list. You have the following choices:

Keyframe: places a red keyframe at the selected frame.
Control Point: places a green control point at the selected keyframe, but you can drag it to any other frame.

6. In the Frame field, type the frame number where you want to place the motion point and click OK. If you are adding a control point, you can enter a value with a decimal point.
