Part 2: Refining Our Fusion Animation & Creating A Shareable Edit Page Effect

We ended Part One after defining all the principal elements and user controls for our preliminary Fusion macro. In Part 2, you complete the layout by positioning the elements with offsets and additional expressions. Plus, you create a mask for our line element using a shading layer.

But we’re not done yet!

How do you adjust your template to the playback range set in the Edit Page?

At the end of this Insight, you learn how to build intro and outro animations efficiently, so your template will automatically adjust to the overall duration of the render range, as set in the edit page.

Finally, it’s publishing time!

We create a preview icon, test the template in the edit page, and create a *.drfx template package that others can install with a simple double click.

Key takeaways from this Insight

By the end of this Insight you should understand how to:

  • Build Masks from Shading Layers
  • Use the Keyframe Stretcher for flexible intro and outro animations
  • Make your template available in the edit page together with a preview icon with a resize of 104 width by 58 height
  • Create an installable *.drfx template package
