Question

Hello! I am new to using this program, and i have a problem which i can't solve by myself and tons of youtubers. I need to animate a regular rectangle, i want it to move to the left and its corners become rounded (at the same time). Who do I need to pray, what superpower potion to drink to make this animation? I would be very grateful if you could help me with it!

 

And one more thing - can i somehow copy all settings for width, height, position X and Y of one object and paste them to another object or the same object but in another keyframe? It would make all resizing work much easier.

    The closest thing to that is Ctrl-Shift-V: Paste in Place

    1.  use a shape tween (or shape tweens) with shape hints.

     

     

    2a.  covert the object (whose properties you want to transfer) to a symbol (if it's not already in the library)

    2b.  covert the object (that you want to use to replace the object in 2a) to a symbol (if it's not already in the library).

    2c.  copy the symbol instance from 2a > paste it in the frame you want > in the properties panel > use swap symbols* to replace symbol from 2a by the symbol from 2b.

    Thank you very much for your help! I did everything as you said, but my rectangle is rounded like this - how to make the corners round exactly as in your example?
