Hi

- What is interpolation?
- And what is switch layer interpolation.

I have seen it refered to a lot on this forum...but I cant figure out what it is?

Please explain ... keeping in mind I am new to AS.

Thanks!

good one thanks for that.

I thought it was some sort of AS specific animation thing.


ps...I'm from Auckland...good to see a fellow kiwi.

Further to what Nolan said:

Some animators know them as fairings.

Particularly of interest in AS: You can right-click on a keyframe marker in the timeline to change the interpolation between that keyframe and the next.
Useful if you want to use linear or step interpolation.

If you duplicate a vector switch sub-layer and move the points around, you can set the switching to interpolate between the 2 switch sub-layers, so you get automatic "morphing" between the 2 switch sub-layers.
