Controllers drive what the animation actually does, whether it shows/hides something, moves it around the screen or changes its color. There are many different controllers to achieve different things and the list continues to grow over time. There are quite a few components to individual controllers, but the primary attributes are Type, End and Frame. You can also give controllers a Name which is useful for overriding templated animations. Many controllers will have additional attributes specific to that type of controller. Inside a controller you will find a sequence of “Keys” which perform specific actions at specific times in the controller’s timeline.
