"Video Timeline"
"Video Timeline" explored the alternative to Frame Animations in Photoshop; the Video Timeline. A Video Timeline offers several options that the Frame Animation doesn't. For instance, the ability to change position and opacity over time.
I incorporated the position element into my video by making a basketball that continuously bounces off the edges of the image. To do this, I placed the basketball at the bottom center of the image. Next, click the little stopwatch icon next to where it says "transform." Then, I dragged the video marker (the line than goes down on your timeline and shows what second/frame of the video you are on) ahead 30 frames (1 sec @ 30fps). With the marker at 30 frames, I used the move tool to move the basketball to the left side center of the image. This makes it so that the basketball will travel in a straight line from the bottom center to the left side center in exactly 1 second/30 frames (like connecting two points on a graph). Simply repeat this step for each corner to complete the cycle.
Changing opacity over time was also incorporated in the background. To change the opacity at different times, you use the same concept as the position. You click the little stopwatch next to where it says "opacity" and change the value in the layers panel. Repeat this in a pattern, and you are done.
