Holding clip animation

You can put a hold on the animation of character clips, animation clips, camera animation clips, and constraint clips.

To hold a clip’s animation:

1. Select a clip in the Story window.
2. Dragging the Still In or Still Out handles outward (A and B) to hold the first or last state of a clip’s animation.

When you drag these handles out, you can maintain the first or last frame of the animation for any number of frames without scaling or moving the clip.

3. You can also change the values of a selected clip’s Still In and Still Out points in the Properties window (A and B).
