SmartMotions are the animation features that provide the functionality to transform a static scene into an animated presentation.
Animation, like film and television, is based on illusion. If a sequence of drawings is presented in rapid succession, your perceptual system fuses the individual images into an apparently continuous motion. In computer animation, the computer generates each of the individual images, or frames, from a high-level description of the movement. SmartMotions makes these high level movements reusable on any part. You can also save custom SmartMotions in a catalog for future use.
