- [Instructor] To edit your timeline,
it's a fairly simple and intuitive process.
All we have to do is really find any key points here,
and I can click and drag any of these points
to change the timelines
or right click for some additional
editing commands or options.
Let's play through this small animation here
just to take a look.
So it's just opening up and then closing.
But let's say I want to change that.
Maybe I actually want to change it
such that it's only closing the vice
and then not going back to its initial state.
So I can actually just right click on this last key point,
which would be the return to the initial state,
I can copy this,
I can paste keys,
I can edit the keys here.
I can also just delete.
So now I've gotten rid of that key entirely.
So if I play through from the beginning once more,
it's gonna be only opening
and no longer closing,
as I've deleted that initial key point.
A couple other options.
Of course, I can just click and drag these points.
So right now from zero to two seconds, nothing's happening,
and then from two to four,
I have my vice closing there.
But let's say I wanna change this,
instead of starting at two seconds,
I wanna start it at three seconds.
So I can just click and drag my key point here
to about three seconds,
and now it's changed such that my vice is closing
from three to four seconds now.
Again, I might need to recalculate
for the first time around.
And now you see it's changed
such that it's just closing at three seconds.
Similarly, I could click and drag this to say six seconds
or whatever it might be.
If you wanna become more precise, as well,
you can just right click on it
and also use the edit key point time.
And here I can actually give exact values,
so instead of just clicking and dragging the key points,
which might be faster,
but maybe not as precise,
let's say I wanna go exactly to six seconds.
I can just type in six,
whatever it might be,
and then just hit the green check
once I'm finished with that.
And notice how that has changed.
Again, let's calculate through.
Now my vice should start closing at three
and continue closing all the way to six seconds there.
A few more options there again.
If I just right click on some of those key points,
I also have this interpolation mode option,
and this is just how you're running through your timeline.
So by default and generally what I find
almost everyone will be using is linear,
and that just means,
so from point A to point B would be a linear motion.
But if you'd like,
you have a number of other options, as well,
so let's try maybe ease in.
That means my vice will initially
start closing fairly slowly,
and then it's gonna start to ramp up more and more speed
until it finds its end point there.
So let's try to calculate through there.
So it's opening quite slow
and then gets faster and faster and faster.
So that's ease in,
then you have ease out and so on.
And so let's play through the beginning here.
I've changed it now to start at about three seconds,
it's easing its way into that command,
and we've changed its end time to six seconds there.
So there's a bunch of different ways
that you can edit and change your timeline.
It's very simple, intuitive,
pretty much just click and dragging your key points
or right clicking and editing your key point properties.
