## In this lesson

### Enter Zen (0:08)

We want to concentrate on the motion. Press Z. The tools and score disappear, leaving the picture on its card. Beside it is the conversation.

### Start an idea (0:20)

What should move? The blank canvas offers suggestions, including a loader. Down in the message box, type: a loader, three dots that bounce. That's enough to begin.

### Watch it bounce (0:31)

Now send it, and watch. It sets a square canvas, adds three dots, and makes each one hop in turn, a wave from left to right, with a little squash as it lands. It checks the loop, and the loader plays. Beneath the picture, the ribbon shows its movement.

### Choose a moment (0:48)

Let's inspect that bounce. Click the ribbon to stop at a moment. Then drag along it to scrub. The picture follows your hand, so you can examine the spacing.

### Know the agent (0:59)

Let's check our agent. Click the header to see Claude's models, or Codex. Choosing another starts a new conversation. Press Escape to keep our choice.
