This tutorial uses a chameleon illustration to demonstrate setting up linear gradients with three colour points, keyframing fill colour changes at different timeline positions, duplicating the first keyframe to create a seamless loop, and using the Reverse button for quick colour swaps.

1:19 - Using Fill Color Animator
2:15 - Duplicate Keyframe
2:34 - Creating Swap Color Fill Animation
In this video, you'll learn how to:
1. Apply a linear gradient to a shape and adjust its orientation by dragging endpoints on the canvas
2. Add a third colour point to the gradient bar using Alt/Option+click and position it along the spectrum
3. Use the Fill Colour animator to keyframe gradient state changes at specific timeline positions
4. Shift individual gradient point colours, reposition the midpoint, and scale the gradient spread between keyframes
5. Duplicate the first keyframe at the end of the timeline with Cmd+D to create a smooth looping return
6. Use the Reverse button to instantly swap gradient colours for a complementary transition
Animated colour transitions bring depth to character illustrations, mood-shifting backgrounds, seasonal theme changes, and branding elements where palette variation needs to feel fluid rather than static.
