Animation of a Parameter

A parameter is animated by changing its value within its domain. The default domain, direction, and speed of a parameter’s variation depends on the units of the parameter, as shown in this table.

The speed listed here is a maximum. A parameter may change more slowly if your computer is busy with many tasks.
