Tween an object

Tweening lets you animate objects quickly by changing one or more object properties only at specific points during a movie. An object that is animated by tweening is called a tween.

To tween the star, you'll first add keyframes to its timeline; then you'll change the star's size and position at one of the keyframes. Corel R.A.V.E.^TM will automatically apply the changes to the star between the keyframes, and produce an animated star that moves and expands during the movie.

Before starting this procedure, ensure that the star is still selected and the playhead is still on frame 30.

1. Click Movie menu Insert keyframe.
   A keyframe is inserted in the object's timeline at frame 30. Note that Corel R.A.V.E. automatically added a keyframe at frame 1 in the star's timeline. Click here to see how the star's timeline should look now.
2. On the stage, drag a corner selection handle outward to increase the size of the star proportionally.
3. Drag the enlarged star to the bottom right corner of the stage.
4. On the movie control panel , click the Play button to preview the animation.
5. On the movie control panel, click the Stop button to stop the preview.
   Click here to see how the star tween should look.
