# Kinetic ## Description Kinetic is similar to Animo, but specifically driven by position velocity. It creates animation controllers based on the velocity of position movement, allowing you to build complex motion systems from simple position keyframes. ## Setup 1. Select any animated properties with 2+ keyframes. 2. Run the Kinetic tool 3. In the controller, select a layer that will serve as the velocity layer for the animation 4. Update the position of the velocity layer and the animation will play based on that velocity ## Options **Preserve Timing**\ Maintains the original keyframe timing when creating the Kinetic controller **Shy**\ Automatically hides the source layers after creating the controller --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://motion-studio.mtmograph.com/ae-extension/tools/kinetic.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
