Tween a group of objects

Tweening groups of objects lets you quickly add animation effects to complex images consisting of multiple objects.

Now you'll make the cup and the steam appear to turn around between frames 10 and 20. As the cup is a group of objects, you'll add keyframes to the group's timeline and edit the group at some of the keyframes as if it were a single object.

Add keyframes to a group's timeline

1. In the Timeline Docker window, click the group's name Cup to select the cup.
2. Click frame 10 in the cup's timeline.
3. Click the Insert keyframe button to add a keyframe at frame 10.
4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to add a keyframe at frame 15.
5. Click the plus (+) sign beside the group's name Cup to view the timelines of the individual objects within the group.
   Click here to view how the cup's timeline should look.

You are now ready to edit the cup at the keyframes.
