XPression Maps has always allowed designers to create animated map templates for the XPression MOS users. However, starting with XPression Maps 3.0 and higher, Maps Designers can define the duration of the animation as well as the heads and tails of the map animation. This means that Map animations can now sit on the starting frame for a defined duration and rest on the end frame as well. This can be used to define the playout speed of animated XPression Maps in the XPression MOS workflow.
