Working with the Apply Tab
The Apply tab allows you to set what is mapped to the Motion Path.
The
Apply Tracker Data To menu choices depend on what object or track the Motion Path
filter is applied to in the timeline. The Motion Path can be applied to a shape or container
track. Depending on what the Motion Path is applied to, the choices may include:
• Position applies to the Position X and Position Y of the track(s). Position adjusts the
location of the track.
• Pivot applies to the pivot point of the track(s). The pivot point is the center around which
the track pivots or rotates.
• Camera applies to the Camera X and Camera Y point of the track(s). Camera X and
Camera Y set the position of the focal point of the camera.
• Light applies to the Light X and Light Y Source of the track(s). The source point sets
the location of the light.
• None disables the Motion Path filter.
Working with the Animation Tab
The Animation tab lets you animate the motion path itself. When you create a Motion Path
effect and select the
Path track in the Timeline, the Animation tab appears in the Controls
window.
•
Acceleration allows you to gradually accelerate the effect.
