<h1>Animations: Making Your Actors Alive</h1>\r
\r
-<p>Animation is an effect that shows sequential frames in quick succession to give the illusion of movement.</p>\r
+<p>Animation allows your objects to move around / change their properties for a specified duration.</p>\r

-<p>DALi provides a rich and easy to use animation framework which allows you to create visually rich applications. The Dali::Animation API can be used to animate the properties of any number of objects, typically Actors. Animation components are shown in a following figure.</p>\r

<p>DALi provides support for animating between several different values, or key frames. A key frame takes a progress value between 0.0f and 1.0f (0 and 100% respectively) and portrays the value of the property when the animation has progressed that much. You can create several key frames:</p>\r
