Exit animations

Keep your element on the canvas or exit with style

Each image or text element that you add to the canvas has three animation stages that you can customize. These will occur in the following order:

• Entrance animation - set how your element will animate as it's added to the canvas
• Emphasis animation - ​set how your element will animate once it's on the canvas
• Exit animation - ​set how your element will animate as it leaves the canvas

This article covers all the options you have for the Exit animation stage. For details about the other stages see our Entrance animations and Emphasis animations articles.

Exit animation types

• Select your element on the canvas or timeline and click the ‘Animation’ tab in the right-hand panel to display the animation options
  
  

• Click the ‘Type’ icon to select the animation type:
  •    None - your element remains on that canvas
  •   Fade out - your element becomes increasingly transparent producing a fading effect
  •   Move out - your element moves off the canvas in your chosen direction
  •   Slingshot - your element is pulled slowly in one direction before being released and quickly moving off the canvas in your chosen direction 
  •   Disappear - your element instantly disappears
  •  Erase - your element will be erased by your chosen hand

Depending on the animation type you select, further animation options will appear.
