Add 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 keyframes may contain transparency and color overrides. During the TimeLiner simulation, the
transparency and color override data from Animator are ignored.
Once you’ve added animation to your tasks, you can simulate your schedule.
To add an animation scene or an animation set
1 If the TimeLiner window is not already open, click Home tab ➤ Tools panel ➤ TimeLiner
.
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.
