This section describes how to create an animation that animates the position and size of an object. Here, the thumbnail image of the music is animated.
### Configuring the Animation
1. In the Scene Tree panel navigate to the RenderNode2D **Cover** and right-click it. Select \[Add Animated Property...\] from the context menu. The **Cover** node can be found in the path below.
- The **Property Animation Configuration** dialog will be opened.
