Tutorial 4.4: Setting up the first keyframe
The way the envelope is currently designed, the value of Dissolve will remain 100% for the entire effect. What we want is for the value to start at 0%, so let’s change the first keyframe.
Dissolve slider
To change the first keyframe:
1. Click-and-drag on the time slider and move it to beginning in time 0%.
2. Drag the dissolve slider and you will see the yellow block move to the bottom of the envelope window (value 0%). Its value is “tied†to the current envelope.
3. Release the mouse button.
The first keyframe is adjusted: 1) Click here to create keyframe; 2) Keyframe is created at 00:00:00:00.
Now our envelope will work correctly, causing the object to dissolve over the entire length of the transition. Try playing the preview to see the results.
