To add 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 (an exact spot is not needed as it is easy to adjust afterwards).

  2. Add a Stop keyframe to the Default director.

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

    • For Viz Artist 2.x: Click the Default director label to open the Default director editor. Click the Add Stop button.

  3. Move the stop-point with the mouse or move it by using its editor that opens when it is selected. Check that it has the same time settings as the second keyframe on the rotation channel.

  4. Play out the animation to verify that it stops when the rotation has finished. Click the Continue button to proceed with the alpha fade.
