In this step, you are going to create another color transform effect, for the next element in the series, that will go from transparent to opaque to transparent.
To achieve this effect, you will add a Color Transform element, set three keyframes, and multiply the alpha value at each keyframe by 0, 1, and 0.
To create the next color transform effect:
1. Add a Color Transform element and name it skateColor2.
2. Drag and drop the Color Transform-skateColor2 element just before the sk_3 element in the element list. This will also attach it to the SkatePeg 2 element.
3. Attach the sk_3 element to the Color Transform-skateColor2 element.
4. Change the start frame of the Color Transform-skateColor2 element so that it matches the sk_3 element. Start frame: 16; End frame: 24.
5. Add a keyframe to the Color Transform-skateColor2 element at frame 20. Your Timeline window should now look something like this:
6. In the Color Transform tab, set the keyframes to the following multiplicative alpha values:
7. Drag the red frame slider from frame 16 to 24 and watch how the first element fade out as the second one fades in and then out again.
You’ll notice how the drawing in the next element appears for the last five frames. In the next step you’ll use the exact same color transform element to fix all of the other elements so that they undergo the same color transform effect.
8. Select File > Save to save your animation set.
