Create an editable motion trail

To create an editable motion trail

1. Select the animated object you want to preview.
2. Do one of the following:
   • To create motion trail with default options, select Animate > Create Editable Motion Trail.
   • To set motion trail options and preferences, such as key size and frame number display, select Animate > Create Editable Motion Trail > to open the Motion Trail Options window.

     Click Create Motion Trail once you have the options you want.

   Depending on the display options you have set, the motion trail displays alongside your animated object. By default, the motion trail displays white markers to represent keys along a red motion trail.

   Note

   The motion trail displays keys for the object’s Translate X, Translate Y and Translate Z curves only. If you have added the object's translation attributes to an animation layer, only keys on the active layer display and are editable on the motion trail.
