Animate In / Out

Select one or more layers and open Properties → Animate In / Out. Choose a style independently for entrance and exit:

• Fade: fades in or out.
• Slide: a short move with a fade.
• Fly: from or to beyond the canvas edge.
• Drop: falls in from above and lands with a bounce, or falls out below.
• Wipe: reveals from an edge, or opens from the centre.
• Grow: opens the box from an edge or the centre; shapes and images only, because text would reflow.
• Scale: grows from half size while fading.
• Pop: springs up from nothing with an overshoot.
• Spin: turns a quarter turn while fading; the arrows choose clockwise or counter-clockwise.
• Focus: fades out of a blur; it needs the layer's built-in blur effect.

The arrows choose where the motion comes from, or where it goes. Set the duration in frames and a feel (Smooth, Gentle, Snappy, Overshoot, Bounce, Elastic, or Linear), then use ▶ to preview that side. With several layers selected, Stagger spreads them out by that many frames, in the chosen order (left to right, right to left, top to bottom or bottom to top). The first layer in that order arrives first and leaves first. A stagger needs room in the span, so Studio shortens the duration when the cascade wouldn't fit.

The editor writes ordinary keys between Start and the first Step, or between the last Step and End. These are x/y, opacity and blur, plus Scale, the Wipe edges, width/height or rotation when the style uses them. These keys remain editable on the Timeline; choosing another preset replaces only that side's motion. None (cut) holds the on-air pose, while Custom keys warns that choosing a preset would replace hand-authored keys there.
