Quiz #2

1. You'd want to convert a frame to a keyframe if you need to make that particular frame a particular instance in the animation (i.e. the beginning frame, end/result frame).

2. To convert it, you can simply right-click the frame in the timeline and select Convert to keyframe.

3. Easing in is an effect you can set for a motion tween that makes the object start slow and end fast at certain rate depending on how you set it. It is used to make things seem more physically believable (i.e. when you nudge something down a hill). The numerical value of easing out is a negative number.

4. Easing out applies the same principle as easing in, only it makes the object start fast then end slow. Again, it's used to make the movement of an object appear more realistic (in this case, like if you nudged the object on an even surface). The numerical value of easing in is a positive number.

5. To motion tween color, you just set up your object as one color in the first keyframe of the animation, and then set it as another in the last keyframe, and create a motion tween between the two.

6. To make an object move along a path, you would put a motion guide in the animation by selecting the first keyframe of the animation and clicking the motion guide button. Then you would draw the path and attach the object to its beginning and ending points, according to the animation.
