5. Go to 4:01. Increase the Scale value so that the flower is about the width of the flowerpot.
The value you use depends on the original size of the star and on the width of the flowerpot.

6. Press the spacebar to preview the animation. The star falls as it becomes a flower, but its
trajectory is straight. You want it to fall in a slight arc. Press the spacebar again to stop
playback.
7. Go to 2:20, and adjust the star’s position up, so that its path becomes a gentler arc.

8. Press the spacebar to preview the star’s path again, and then press the spacebar to stop
playback. If you want to change the path, you can add Position keyframes at other points in
the time ruler.
