USING MASKING
Masking in Animate is used to hide a selected part and display
content of a specific layer. Masking enables us to control the
content that is visible to the audience. In order to create a
Spotlight effect, we can create a circular mask and have the
audience view only the content within the circular area. This
enables the audience to focus on the important content in
the project/graphics. Perform the following steps to create a
masking effect:
Step 1: Create a new document in Animate 2024.
Step 2: Click on the Selection Tool from the Tools panel.
Step 3: Right-click on the Frame 100 in the Timeline panel and
select the Insert Frame option.
Step 4: Click on the Frame 1 from the Timeline panel.
Step 5: Select the File → Import → Import to Stage option from
the Menu bar to import pictures to the background.
The Import dialog box opens.
