Hello.

I want to do the most basic thing and can't seem to work out how to! I want to have NO transition between images I'm using. I want one image to cut to the next. But as soon as I change the opacity settings Web Designer automatically animates the transition with an easing curve. How do I get rid of the transition so the cut is immediate and abrupt?

I'm sure I'm missing something incredibly obvious!

Thanks!
Dan

Hi Dan,

I can think of one way of doing this is that you set an element visibility:hidden from CSS panel.
So, for the entire animation, you can't see the element.
Insert a timeline event marker (a diamond icon) at where you would like to have the element appear, then set the event by double-clicking the diamond.

page1>event-1>Set styles>your element id>, at configuration, add visibility:visible and set NO easing. In this way, when you preview the animation on a browser, the element suddenly appears at where you set visibility:visible style.
I don't know if this helps to achieve what you try to do, could you try it and let me know?

Thanks,
Mariko (GWD team)

Hi Mariko,

Thanks for your reply. that sounds like it would work. Unfortunately I'm a novice and not sure how to do all the things you describe.

I set the visibility to hidden using the Eye symbol on the animation timeline. Then I created one of the diamond markers. I double clicked it and went to:
page 1 > event-1 > Add Custom Action

Here there is an entry box after 'gwd.' and before '= function (event) {'. I added the image name "image_2"

In the entry box I added 'visibility: visible'

I'm not sure how to tell it no easing?

This sounds like it would work but I can't believe it's not easier to do this?!

Google is forcing people to do cheesy dissolves!!

is there a preferred way to set animations in the css tab? I feel like 80% of the time it doesn't work, or applies it throughout the entire layer timeline and not just for that keyframe.
