For example, the aircraft rises as it travels forward because the Travel_Forward
and Aircraft_Rise clips overlap in time. If you position the clips on their
respective tracks so that one clips action occurs in the Trax timeline before
or after the other, the motion occurs separately.
In this section, you learn how to reposition the clips so that the aircraft takes
off before it travels forward in X, and then have the aircraft land at the end
of the sequence.
