Adding Stop Tags

When playing out the scene, the objects should move in from the left and then fade out again. In order to stop the animation after the rotation, a stop point must be added before the animation can continue and fade out the scene.

  1. Move the timeline (the thin red vertical line) to the second keyframe of the rotation channel (you do not need to be precise as this is easy to adjust afterwards).

  2. Add a Stop keyframe to the Default director.

    • For Viz Artist 3.x: Click the Add Stop/Tag button above the stage editor.

  3. Move the stop-point with your cursor or select it the stop-point and use the editor to move it.

  4. Ensure that it has the same time settings as the second keyframe on the rotation channel.

  5. Play out the animation to verify that it stops when the rotation has finished.

  6. Click the Continue button to proceed with the alpha fade.
