Move from small to large over time in Character Animator

Question

Hi! According to the directrions I've read, I create a short recording of a small version of my puppet on the right side, then a second recording of a larger verson on the left side. Unfortionately, both versions show in the timetine, but only at the larger size.

My objective is for my puppet to move from right to left, ending at the large size. How?

To change the scale of an object in Character Animator requires using the Transform behavior. In your timeline, you must set keyframes so that the program knows what parameters you want the puppet to have and when. To do this, use the transform controls to put the puppet at the scale and location you want to start at and then click on the small stopwatch icon to the left of those parameters to set a keyframe for each parameter you intend to be changing (usually Scale and Position). Then you would go to the frame that you wish to conclude your transformation and change the values to match what you want (NOTE: do not click on the stopwatch a second time - that will remove the keyframe you had set in the first frame!) The program will automatically "tween" between the two keyframes in your timeline. You can have multiple keyframes on the same timeline, as long as they don't overlap.
