So, if you want to animate the arrows quite simply, I mean, there's a very few, there's
a few methods to do it.
You could use the arrow annotations on the Annotations tab, here.
You have arrows, you have different types of arrows, so you can choose whichever you
want here.
You can choose the thickness and opacity and color.
Of course you can make it any color you like, and then you point it to where you want it
to be.
And then you can use a simple behavior or a transition.
So depending on what you want to do with it, you can do transitions, like using a wipe
or something.
So if you go to the Transitions, you can use Wipes and maybe you can use a, a gradient
wipe on it like this.
So that will mean it comes in, in a faded way.
If it's too short, the animation, you can of course make the transition longer.
So it's going to fade in sort of like that.
Another way to do it would be without transitions, you can use Behaviors.
So if you go to behaviors and choose maybe one of these ones that fade in from the left
or reveal like this, this actually gives you a little bit of animation, so you can see
I've applied this one Reveal.
If you play it now, the arrow kind of slides in and you can control the action and as well
as the speed and duration, and you can also control what it does during the time it spends
on screen.
And then it has a different animation when it's going out.
It slides the other way, if you want to.
If not, you can just go to the Out and turn it to None.
So it doesn't do anything, it just disappears.
So you can control these like that.
Also you can have another type of annotations here on the scribble thingy, sketch motion.
They're not overly complex, so you can use this arrow or this one hand drawn, which is
not really good for a flow chart.
You can use this one.
It's, it's a different arrow here.
Okay.
Of course you can, you know, it has its own sort of draw animation, which you can't really
change, but you can also control the thickness on this and maybe the draw time, make it shorter
and longer.
Now, if you want more complex animations with arrows, you want something special then I
suppose you can import some arrows from external sources, like PNG files, draw them in here
and do transitions with them.
One thing I like to do, if I really need an animation, I can really control is to draw
an arrow.
Let's suppose I bring this arrow in here, you double click on it and remove the text
on it, so there you go, you have just one arrow.
You can change the color, of course, on it like this, and then you can apply different
transitions to it.
Or if I really want to slide it in, in a different way, I can actually, the new Annotation with
the media matte.
So you can go to shape let's go find a shape here and use this rectangular thing.
I'm going to cover the whole arrow, just to show you how you can create your own reveal.
So this one covers the arrows.
So now what I can do is I can animate this coming in.
But this might be too complicated depending on, you know, might be overkill depending
on what you, how many arrows you have.
So look, this one is actually now covering or revealing, you know, you can turn it around.
I actually should have gone here now and you can go and bring it into the arrow like, so,
so then you can reveal the arrow by using the visual effect Media matte on this revealing
thingy here.
So it has Alpha.
So then, you know, it slides in and your arrow appears.
If you like to do it from the other side, of course you can reverse the animation.
So leave it here, and then this end, you move it all the way to the right side, like, so.
So then when it comes in, it reveals the arrow, you select all of this, you group it like
that.
And then you have a moving object, a revealing arrow, which you can use in your project just
make different copies of it all over the place at different time intervals, you know, and
they will reveal each other, like so.
So just bring them in when you need.
I hope this helps.
Thank you.
