Animating tracks
Animating tracks with keyframes
You can animate tracks by using keyframes in the Timeline Editor. For tracks with visual content, you can animate
position, scale, skew, rotation, spin, and blending mode. For tracks with sound and MIDI content, you can animate
volume and speaker balance.
GoLive animates tracks by interpolating transition frames between keyframes. If you add two Position keyframes
with different pixel coordinates, for example, GoLive interpolates transition frames that make the track appear to
move from one position to the next.
