In this video we discuss the "Animation Points Tool" in Plotagraph Pro Software.
• Add Points: Use to add the start point of your animation track.
• Delete Points: Use to delete the animation points. (click on the point to delete it)
• Stabilizer Points: Stabilizers hold areas of the image in place, use these to help your animation look more natural where motion would gradually and naturally come to a stop. For free users use stabilizers instead of the Brush Mask which is not available in the free version.
• Custom Paths: This makes it so that your animation paths follow your cursor path as you click and drag, therefore they do not have to be a straight line!
• Offset Corners: this moves the bounding corner points for you animation mesh further outside the corners of your image. By default this is turned on as it generally proves better results for your Plotagraphs.
• Straighten Path: Use to straighten the path of your animation points. (select the animation points using lasso or selection tool, then use the straighten path option). This is useful when you have a custom path you would like to turn into a straight path.
• Click and Drag: When turned on clicking and dragging will place an animation point and drag out the path all in one motion. When turned off a click will only add an animation point, to create a path you will then have to use the selection tool and move the animation point.
