Here's an overview of motion presets in Animate CC:

1. Accessing Motion Presets
- Motion presets can be accessed from the "Window" menu

Presets panel.
- It's suitable for photographs and images with complex
color gradients.
- JPEG files typically have the extension ".jpg" or ".jpeg".

2. Choosing a Preset
- In the Motion Presets panel, browse through the available
presets categorized by type (e.g., Bounces, Eases, Rotations).
- Select a preset that fits the desired animation effect.
3. Applying a Preset
- Once you've chosen a preset, select the object on the
stage to which you want to apply the animation.
- Double-click on the desired preset in the Motion Presets
panel.
- The animation will be automatically applied to the
selected object.
4. Customizing Preset Parameters
- After applying a motion preset, you can customize its
parameters to fine-tune the animation effect.
- Use the Properties panel to adjust parameters such as
duration, easing, scale, rotation, etc.
- Experiment with different settings to achieve the desired
animation outcome.
- Each pixel in an RGB image is composed of three color
channels: red, green, and blue, with values ranging from 0 to
255 for each channel.
2. CMYK (Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, Black)
- CMYK is primarily used in printing processes.
- It represents colors by combining different percentages of
cyan, magenta, yellow, and black inks.
- CMYK color mode is also known as a subtractive color
model because colors are subtracted from natural white light
to produce the desired color.
2. Grayscale
- Grayscale images contain shades of gray from black to
white, with no color information.
- Each pixel in a grayscale image is represented by a single
channel ranging from black (0) to white (255), with shades of
gray in between.

5. Previewing Presets
- Before finalizing the animation, it's recommended to
preview the motion preset to see how it looks.
- Use the "Test Movie" option or press "Enter" to preview
the animation in the Animate CC workspace.

6. Saving Custom Presets

- Animate CC allows users to create custom motion presets
for frequently used animations.
- After customizing an animation effect, select the object
with the animation applied.
- Go to "Window" > "Motion Presets" and click on the menu Color
icon (three horizontal lines) in the Motion Presets panel. wheel
- Choose "Save as Motion Preset" and provide a name for
your custom preset.

7. Managing Presets
- The Motion Presets panel also allows users to manage
existing presets.
- You can delete, rename, or organize presets into custom
folders for easier access.

 Motion presets in Adobe Animate CC are a

convenient way to add dynamic animations to objects
quickly. They're especially useful for creating
common motion effects like bounces, rotations, and
transitions with minimal effort.

Color modes in images refer to the different ways in which white
colors are represented and stored within a digital image.
Understanding these color modes is essential for graphic
designers, photographers, and anyone working with digital
imagery. Here are the most common color modes:

1. RGB (Red, Green, Blue)

- RGB is the most common color mode used in digital
displays and images for screens.
- It represents colors by mixing varying intensities of red,
green, and blue light.
