Position Positions an image on stage. To change the position, drag the image or one of
the motion path handles shown in the Stage window when the cue is selected.
To set the position numerically, double-click the Position tween point and type
the desired position of the anchor point into the “Location” field.
◆ HINT: To move the entire motion path, first select all the Position tween
points, then drag the image. Or use the Move command on the Edit menu.
The “Speed” fields control the speed of motion into or out from the point. A
value of 1 results in the normal speed required to move linearly to the next
point. Smaller values make the image go slower and greater values go faster.
The speed is indicated by white dots along the motion path (see below), and
can also be controlled using the speed handles (visible only for smooth points).
Using the Z position field, you can move the image along the Z axis, away
from or towards the viewer. The Z position can also be controlled by dragging
the Position tween point vertically, with the position indicated numerically next
to the tween track. Moving the image along the Z axis changes its perceived
size according to the amount of perspective selected in the Preferences dialog
box. When images move away from the viewer, they move toward the
vanishing point, which is also set in the Preferences dialog box. See “3D
Perspective and Stereoscopy” on page 124.
Normally, images overlap and obscure each other according to their layer
order. When using Z position, you may want images closer to the viewer to
obscure images farther away. If so, select “By Z-Depth” in the cue’s specifica-
tions (see “Stacking” on page 175).
When positioning images along the Z axis, it may be hard to see where the
image is when viewed from the front. If so, choose “View, Left” or “View, Top”
on the Stage menu to rotate the stage preview. These views also allow you to
