What other features are in SU Animate
| Highlight of additional features
Delay is a powerful new feature that allows the user to delay a specific path and any groups assigned
to that path for a set number of scenes. Simply type in the number of scenes the group(s) is desired to delay for and update the attributes.
This feature will allow much more complex animations such as assemblies.
One group can be animated on more than one path. Used in tangent with Delay,
now you can animate one group on more than one path allowing for animations such
as up and down, clock wise and counter-clock wise motion of one group.
More than one group can be animate on a single path.
You can animate several groups on the same path. For example, place the camera and an object on the same path. This
will give the effect of the camera following an object in the animation.
New User Interface. The web dialog interface makes assigning groups or camera or both to paths, easy.
Repeat allows you to create an animation that have paths that repeat themselves within an animation.
