Timing Object

Timing Object

Multiple objects Timing
Shape

Represents timing properties for an animation effect.

Using the Timing object

To return a Timing object, use the Timing property of the AnimationBehavior or Effect object. The following example sets timing duration information for the main animation.

ActiveWindow.Selection.SlideRange(1).TimeLine _
   .MainSequence(1).Timing.Duration = 5
		

Use the following read/write properties of the Timing object to manipulate animation timing effects.

Use this... To change this...
Accelerate Percentage of the duration over which acceleration should take place
AutoReverse Whether an effect should play forward and then reverse, thereby doubling the duration
Decelerate Percentage of the duration over which acceleration should take place
Duration Length of animation (in seconds)
RepeatCount Number of times to repeat the animation
RepeatDuration How long should the repeats last (in seconds)
Restart Restart behavior of an animation node
RewindAtEnd Whether an objects return to its beginning position after an effect has ended
SmoothStart Whether an effect accelerates when it starts
SmoothEnd Whether an effect decelerates when it ends
TriggerDelayTime Delay time from when the trigger is enabled (in seconds)
TriggerShape Which shape is associated with the timing effect
TriggerType How the timing effect is triggered
