NATALIE: Hello, my name is Natalie.
I'm one of the engineers that works on Google Web Designer.
And in this video, we're going to take
a look at how to create animations using the Quick mode
timeline.
The Quick mode timeline is one of two animation tools
that we have.
A lot of files will open in this mode by default.
And the other tool is the Advanced mode timeline,
which you can access by clicking this toggle button
in the top right hand corner of the Timeline panel.
And we have a separate tutorial which
will focus on Advanced mode specifically.
And in this one, we'll just talk about Quick mode
and some things that you can do with it.
Let's step through an example.
I have this list of buttons.
And let's say that I'd like for them to fly in one by one
from the left side.
So the first step is to position them
where I'd like for them to be at the beginning, which is off
the page on the left side.
Then I'm going to click this Plus button down here
in the Timeline panel, which will add a new scene after half
a second.
This is something we'll be able to customize later.
In this scene, I'm going to rearrange my elements the way
I want them to be at a half a second in the animation.
So I want just the ABOUT button to be visible on page.
And then so on and so forth.
And you seem to have the Gallery button fly in
from the left side.
And a third to have the CONTACT button
fly in from the left side.
And so now we have an animation.
You can verify this by clicking each of the thumbnails, which
will show you a preview of what the animation looks
like at that point in time.
Or you can also click the Play button
to get a live preview of your animation on stage.
And this little Loop button will let you preview repeatedly,
so you can debug your animation.
So as we saw, the 0.5 between every pair of thumbnails
represents the duration between every transition,
between every two scenes.
If we click this, we can customize this duration
to be longer or shorter.
Let's say I want this one to be one second long.
And we can also adjust the easing.
So this is the Bezier curve that's
used to compute intermediate values for all the animations
between every pair of scenes.
So we have all the standard CSS easing functions available.
You can cycle through them one by one.
So ease in out is a good one as it simulates real world motion
pretty well.
So if we preview now, we can see the transition between third
and fourth thumbnails uses the ease in out transition
and takes about one second.
So this is an overview that should hopefully
get you started with building some animations using
the Quick mode.
It's pretty simple to use, but there
will be a limit to some of its capabilities for very
complex animations.
So for example, if you've got many elements that
are animating concurrently and you
want to be able to edit each animated element's key frames
and transitions individually, if you want to create things
like custom easing functions or be able to add interactivity,
those are all things for which you'd
need to venture into the Advanced mode timeline for.
And we have a separate tutorial that
goes more in-depth into that.
That's it for now.
And thanks for watching.
