Parameterizing Animation Timelines

摘要

Methods and systems for parameterizing animation timelines are disclosed. In some embodiments, a method includes displaying a representation of a timeline configured to animate a first image in a graphical user interface, where the timeline includes a data structure having one or more commands configured to operate upon a first property of the first image. The method also includes creating a parameterized timeline by replacing a reference to the first image within the timeline with a placeholder. The method includes, in response to a request to animate a second image, storing an entry in a dictionary of key and value pairs. The method further includes animating the second image by replacing the placeholder in the parameterized timeline with the reference to the second image during execution of the parameterized timeline.
