Advanced Timeline Mode - Ulead COOL 3D User Manual

Advanced timeline mode

COOL 3D's advanced timeline mode gives you greater control in choreographing the behavior of
objects with multiple attributes. Click View: Toolbars Manager - Timeline or Timeline
Window in the Animation Toolbar to display the Timeline Window. In the Timeline Window,
each attribute is represented by a timeline which you can edit independently. Every change you
make on an attribute will be reflected as a key frame. Any adjustment you make to an object at a
given key frame determines the object's state at that frame. Brief descriptions of the Timeline
Window functions are listed below.

• View: Animation Toolbar Toggles between showing and hiding the Animation
Toolbar.
• Modify Frames Displays a drop-down menu that enables you to edit the number of
frames in the animation sequence.
• Thumbtack Allows you to mark attributes where you assigned key frames. You can
use these marked properties as reference while you work on other objects in the
animation. The attribute where the thumbtack is enabled remains on top of the
Attribute List even if you might already be working on a different object.
