Chapter 10 Using Spline Media
524
By default, spline object tracks are named Spline Track. When you rename the track, it
retains the name even if you change the track’s media type.
Drawing Spline Objects
Always select spline media track in the timeline to create a spline object. Once you select the
correct track, use the tools such as the Pen, Oval and Brush, in the Tool window to draw a
shape and create new splines.
After creating or drawing splines, you can edit them by using the tools available in the Tools
window. Depending on which tool you are using, you can edit the shape by dragging the tool
in the Composite window. Use the bounding box and handles.
Using The Tool Window
The Tool window contains a number of tools that you can use to create and edit spline
objects by clicking and dragging in the Composite window. Several tools work regardless of
the selected track’s media type, but most work exclusively with the spline object media type.
Click on a tool to begin using it.
