Quiz #2

Why would you want to convert frames to keyframes? One wants to convert frames to keyframes because keyframes are the frames that identify the start or the end of an action. Regular frames don't have a particular purpose but to count how long an action will take.

How do you do it? I simply click and hold on the frame that I want to change into a keyframe until a drop-box menu falls. Scroll down and select covert into keyframe.

Explaining easing in.
Why is it used? easing in provides the user to make their animation appear more realistic, in the sense that nothing moves constant at the same speed or velocity, but in-fact slows down and speeds up every so often. That's what easing in and out does... it changes the pace slightly to provide that change visually. Easing out slows down the pace of an object instance.
What is the numerical value of easing in. The numerical value of easing in is in the negatives.

Explain easing out.
Why is it used? Easing out is basically the same with easing in but its main feature is to speed up the pace of an object.
What is the numerical value of easing out? Positive sign or symbol.

How do you motion tween color? Set up a beginning and an end keyframe but for the second key frame change the instance's color individually on the properties palette at the bottom of the screen with the tint selection or color palette.

If you wanted a symbol to animate along a path, what would you add and where? One would want to make a layer guide and then set up the starting and end key frames, but on the stage usiing the pencil tool make a path with one stroke action. place the instance on the path with the magnetic tool chosen.
