LiveMotion 2 from Adobe enables you to create great web graphics with interactivity, animation and sound. Web professionals are increasingly using animation to attract and engage Web audiences, but creating sophisticated animations has traditionally been time and resource-intensive. This version moves beyond basic Web animation with expanded content creation features, improved integration with Adobe's Web and dynamic media tools, and powerful new scripting capabilities. LiveMotion uses object-based editing, which keeps all attributes editable and key-framable from start to finish. Author Brian White takes you through this great application step by step in this VTC tutorial. Learn all about the tools of LiveMotion 2.0. To get started, simply click one of the topics below.
