Positioning the “Out” Animation with “WAIT”
Learn how to control when OUT animations play.
In most cases you can reposition an animation strip simply by clicking and dragging the strip in question.
However, in the case of the Out animation things are a little different because it is locked at the very end of the track [?] by default.
The way you can tell if an Out animation is locked in place is if you see a small flag with the word WAIT inside it to the left of the animation strip:
To unlock the position of an Out animation, toggle the small arrow symbol to the right of the track’s name. When you do this you will see the WAIT flag disappear:
You are now free to click and drag the animation strip to wherever you’d like the Out animation to commence.
Note: The WAIT flag is unrelated to the “Wait for Action” toggle found in the animation Basics panel.
