7.9.1 The Dynamic Animation

#### 7.9.1.3 The Sequence Properties

The Sequence Properties dialog lists all time point of the active sequence and there settings. There are always at least two time points: the start- and the end-time of the sequence. The state of the layer between two time points is calculated by PhotoLine. This is how the actual animation is created. The small waste basket at the bottom edge of the dialog is used to delete a settings line. You must have at least 3 time points to be able to delete one.

The single settings can be edited by double-clicking or by hitting the Return-key.

The Sequence Properties dialog is the only way to rotate a layer in an animation. If you enter 0° as first angle and 360° as next one, the layer will rotate counterclockwise. But if the next angle is -360°, it will rotate clockwise.

The Progress-column lays down, with which "speed" the next state is reached. If you want to modify this curve, you have to keep in mind, that the bottom edge of the curve field represents the start state and the top edge represents the end state. The effect of the curve will be shown by a few examples:

: The animation will be running from the start state to the end state.

: The animation will be running from the end state to the start state.

: The animation will be running from the start state to the end state and back again to the start state.
