Using Gestures
The following illustration shows the basic gesture anatomy. The green dot represents the
start of the gesture; the blue arrow is the direction of your gesture; and the red dot the
end of the gesture. Draw the gesture on the tablet, with your pointer in the Motion Canvas
or Timeline.

Modifier Keys
Many gestures have additional functionality when used with a key on the keyboard. In
the following tables, if a gesture has an entry in the Modifier keys column, it has additional
functionality accessible via a keyboard shortcut. For example, if you have the Control key
set as the gesture trigger, and you draw the play forward gesture, the project plays forward
from the current time. If you press Control-Shift and draw the play forward gesture, the
project plays from the start of the project.
