Additionally, if your computer mouse
has a scroll wheel, you can use it to
toggle between Move and Rotate.
A quick way to jump to any frame in Layout is to press f to call up the Go To Frame
command. When it appears, just enter the desired frame number and press Enter (or
Return on a Mac). Note that you do not need to highlight and delete the value in the
Go To Frame requester. The old value will be highlighted when the requester appears,
so you can just type the new frame number to replace it.
Figure 6.14 Using the Move and
Rotate tools, reposition the cup at
frame 20.
11. Press f to call up the Go To Frame command. Enter 200 to jump to the cup??™s final
resting position, and then copy its keyframe information to frame 30, using the
method described in step 7 earlier.
Click the play button. You should see the teacup move and rotate between keyframes 0 and
30. You can shuttle through the animation by grabbing the timeline slider and dragging.
Note
Pretty good start, but there are still a few problems with the motion, right? The cup doesn??™t
really bounce or land realistically; it sort of floats and drifts a bit before it comes to a rest.
