Motion effect name and description
Expand
Expands, contracts, or expands and contracts
objects over time. This effect works best with
two or more objects grouped together or
combined in a movie clip or graphic symbol.
Objects containing text or letters work well with
this effect.
Explode
Gives the illusion of an object exploding.
Elements of text or a complex group of objects
(symbols, shapes or video clips) break apart,
spin, and arc outward.
Transform
Adjusts the position, scale, rotation, alpha, and
tint of the selected elements. Use Transform to
apply a single effect or a combination of effects
to create Fade In/Out, Fly In/Out, Grow/Shrink,
and Spin Left/Right effects.
Transition
Wipes in or wipes out selected objects by
fading, wiping, or a combination of both.
