Basic Motion behaviors remain the length of the object they are applied to, even if you change the object's length in the mini-Timeline. The watch is looking great, but we need to make room for a second watch. To do that, let's change the length of the first watch and its behaviors.
The project's duration is 5;26, which is the exact length of the video clip. That's only four frames short of 6 seconds, so let's show the first watch for 3 seconds and 15 frames (half of 1 second), or 3;15.
1. | Press the spacebar to stop playback. |
2. | Type 3.15 in the current frame field and press Return. Remember to type a period between seconds and frames in the timecode field. |
3. | Press Shift-Cmd-A to deselect everything in the Canvas. |
4. | Select the watch in the Canvas. |
5. | |
6. | Press D to cycle through the Dashboard from the object to the behaviors. Notice that the purple behavior regions in the mini-Timeline are now shorter, to match the length of the object. Now let's set the play range Out point to 3;15 so we can finish adding the other behaviors to the watch. |
7. | Press Option-Cmd-O to change the play range Out point. |
8. | Press the spacebar to see the project with the shortened watch duration. The watch now moves and grows faster because the action takes place in half of the original time. |
9. | Press Cmd-S to save your progress. |
