Creating a timeline by dragging a path
If you want to create an animation with a complex path, it may be more efficient
to record the path as you drag the layer rather than creating individual keyframes.
To create a timeline by dragging a path:
Select a layer.
Move the layer to where it should be when animation begins.
Make sure you have selected the layer; if the insertion point is in the layer,
the layer is not selected. To select a layer, click the layer marker or the
layer selection handle, or use the Layers panel. For more information, see Manipulating
layers.
Choose Modify > Timeline > Record Path of Layer.
Drag the layer around the page to create a path.
Release the layer at the point where the animation should stop.
adds an animation bar to the timeline, containing the appropriate
number of keyframes.
In the Timelines panel, click the Rewind button; then hold down the Play button
to preview your animation.
