"JOHN CARSTARPHEN: Hi, this John Carstarphen for Expert Village. So we'll set that to zero, click okay and then--and then we set another key frame at 30 frames. And so let's double click on that and see what we've done. We've made the growth 100% and we've included some banking. Now, this selection keep segments, means that the animation will be smooth, if we deselected keep segments, that means that the animation will appear one segment at a time which will make it very choppy. It'll be like cutting from one segment to the next rather than a smooth motion all the way around the letter. So we want to keep segments checked when we want a smooth animation. And we set the growth to 100% so let's click okay. Now, let's go to the timeline and see what we have. And there you see, the letter building itself over 30 frames."
