Capo Function
This function helps you keep your sanity in large projects with extensive timelines. The default behavior by Hype while recording animations is to set the end key frame at the current play head position and the starting key frame at the time index zero (or last key frame to the left). This creates some frustration if you're animating at a high time index, as your animation will stretch probably much further than you had intended. Using the capo function, found in the Animation-menu or using the shortcut ctrl-⌘-K, will set the start time index for an animation at the current play head position. It works much like a barre chord on a guitar and also conveniently fires up the recording mode.
- Place play head at the time index for the start of you animation
- Activate the capo tool (ctrl-⌘-K)
- Move play head to the desired position to set the duration
- Change properties, drag elements in Hype to create the animation
- Optional but recommended: [stop recording]
