Using the Framing camera behavior


The Framing camera behavior is one of the strong indications where traditional keyframing would seem tedious in retrospect once you use it. All the Framing behavior needs is a source; the source can be a group or a layer. Once it has a source, the Framing behavior will fly to the source's position and frame it in the center of the screen. Let's see how we can use it to our advantage.

Getting ready

From this chapter's exercise files, double-click the 10_06 project. Press the Space bar to play back the project. It consists of a clock where the hour and minute hands have been animated using Parameter behaviors. If you open up the content of the Full Clock group, notice how each of the groups contained within it has been spread out and scaled in Z Space. Notice how the content of the clock group have also been repositioned and scaled.
