Seamless Animation Using Tweening
At times, an animation can look awkward, especially when it seems to "jump" abruptly from one scene to the next. Ulead's GIF Animator 5 features Tweening, which smoothens the transition between frames to create a smooth flow of motion in your animation. You need only to specify the start and end positions of objects between two frames; the Tween function will take care of adding frames in between to animate the movement sequence.
Below is a simple exercise on using the Tween function. Try to animate the two objects (snail and red dot) as shown in the sample animation below.
BEFORE YOU START:
Download the file tween_project.uga, which contains the objects you will be using in the tutorial. |
First, set the start and end positions of the objects.
1. Open the file tween_project.uga.
2. Select the big red dot (Obj. 1) on the Object Manager Panel and click Hide  . This hides the object.
3. On the Frame Panel at the bottom, double-click Frame 1. Set the delay time to 20. Then in the Frame title, rename it "Initial Position."
