Join Diane Burns for an in-depth discussion in this video Looping and timing-linked objects, part of InDesign: Creating Animations.
- One of the issues related to timing…is the ability to loop objects…or play them multiple times.…There are two places you can make this setting.…One is in the Animation panel.…We can loop or play an animation multiple times.…We can also loop animations in the Timing panel,…but they have to be linked animations.…I can't just select one here and then loop it…or play it multiple times.…I'm gonna show you the difference…in using each of these settings.…And when it comes to looping,…there's a good news, bad news story here.…
The good news is is that looping works…great for many animations.…The bad news is it has some limitations…and it doesn't work well for other animations.…Let's start with the good news.…Here we have a clock and I've done…some of the animation on it.…I have a minute hand that's set…to rotate 360 degrees for one second.…And my hour hand is also set…to rotate 360 degrees for one second.…I'm gonna set both of these to loop.…
Let's see what happens.…The minute hand plays,…the hour hand plays,…and then they both go round and round.…
