Chapter 10 Using Spline Media

Combining Multiple Splines
If you create multiple spline objects on a single track, each spline has its own set of
Transformation tracks nested in the Path track. This allows you to independently animate
each spline. The timeline shows an effect with three splines in one shape track.
You can combine multiple spline objects into one object. In the following example, two
hollow circles were combined and then the fill was turned on to create a donut shape. When
you combine multiple objects, place the objects on the same track. You cannot use the Path
commands for splines that are on separate tracks in the timeline.
To combine multiple objects:
1. In the Tool window, select the Hollow Arrow tool.
2. In the Composite window, Shift and select the appropriate objects.
3. Do one of the following:
Transformation tracks nested
inside Spline Object track
