Q: How to zoom a layer - Something's not right!
So yeah, bit new with Motion (I took a long time to convert from LiveType), but now that I've downloaded the latest Motion 5.2.3, I'm having trouble understanding how to create a Zoom (animation).
What I am seeing in the manual doesn't make sense... so I'll ask:
- I have a background layer, and want to create a new layer where an image zooms up from the middle of the background.
- I added a new Camera into the timeline, and added my image (that I want to zoom) onto the Camera.
- I then applied the 3D "Zoom In/Out" behavior to the camera... but I cannot see any controls for the zoom! Nothing like where to start and stop the zoom exists in the Properties (only timing and Transform, etc.). Not only that, the "Behaviors" tab is EMPTY! Isn't this where the behavior controls are supposed to be? What am I missing?
- There is a pop-up menu hanging around that shows command icons with what you can do in the 3D space, but again... nothing to say how to apply these to the start and end of the animation I'm trying to create! Please help!!
