4. Click OK.
You are now ready to simulate your schedule.
Adding Animation to Tasks
The animation that you can add to individual tasks in TimeLiner is restricted to scenes and animation sets
from the scenes.
By default, any added animation is scaled to fit the task duration. You also got an option of playing an
animation at its normal (recorded) speed, by matching its start or end point with the task.
Note:
Animation key-frames may contain transparency and color overrides. During the TimeLiner
simulation, the transparency and color override data from Animator are ignored.
To add an animation scene or an animation set:
1. If the TimeLiner window is not already open, select Tools > TimeLiner from the menu bar.
2. On the Tasks tab, click the task you want to add an animation to, and use the horizontal scroll bar to
locate the Animation column.
If you prefer, you can move the animation columns in front of the Start Date column as shown below.
3. Click the drop-down arrow in the Animation field, and select a scene or an animation set from a
scene. When you select a scene, all animation sets recorded for this scene will be used.
