Editing the Timeline by Using the Timeline Event

The following procedure helps you modify the timeline directly in the Virtual Lighting Animation tool interface.

Note: The Virtual Lighting Animation Tool is in BETA mode for the current release.

To edit the timeline:

Prerequisites: You must have opened a XMP map in the Virtual Lighting Animation tool.
  1. In the Light Source list, select one or several sources for which you want to edit the timeline.
    When selecting source(s) the timeline table appears and displays all sources selected.

  2. In the Timeline event panel, set the Start and the End in seconds to define the exact moment on the timeline and change its Ratio for the selected sources.

    A linear interpolation is applied between each point of the timeline.

    Note: If you want to reduce or extend the timeline duration, modify Timeline duration in the Preferences.
  3. Click Apply to validate the modifications.
  4. Repeat from Step 1 to Step 3 for the moments on the timeline that you want to modify.
Now you can generate the animation.
