Introduction

Xara takes a traditional animator's approach to animation. You create key frames (or "snap-shots") of your animation through time, and Xara ( Designer Pro, Web Designer, Photo & Graphic Designer) automatically creates all the in-between frames for you, a process called 'tweening'.

An example start frame

The next key frame has the star shape moved, rotated a little, reduced in size, and changed to a different color.

Xara Designer will create a smoothly animated movie file automatically creating the interim frames. This process is called "tweening".
