# init(_:name:isAdditive:bindTarget:blendLayer:repeatMode:fillMode:trimStart:trimEnd:trimDuration:offset:delay:speed:) Creates a unique animation from a combination of other animations in the form of a tree. ``` init(_ root: any BlendTreeNode, name: String = "", isAdditive: Bool = false, bindTarget: BindTarget? = nil, blendLayer: Int32 = 0, repeatMode: AnimationRepeatMode = .none, fillMode: AnimationFillMode = [], trimStart: TimeInterval? = nil, trimEnd: TimeInterval? = nil, trimDuration: TimeInterval? = nil, offset: TimeInterval = 0, delay: TimeInterval = 0, speed: Float = 1) ``` ## Parameters `root` The first node in a tree of animations. `name` A textual name for the animation. `isAdditive` A Boolean value that indicates whether the animation builds on the current state of the target entity or resets the state before running. `bindTarget` A textual name that identifies the particular property that animates. `blendLayer` The order in which the framework composites the animation into the view. `repeatMode` An option that determines how the animation repeats. `fillMode` The behavior when the animated property reaches its end value. `trimStart` The optional time, in seconds, at which the source animation plays. `trimEnd` The optional time, in seconds, at which the source animation stops. `trimDuration` An optional duration that overrides the calculated duration. `offset` The time, in seconds, at which the animation begins within the duration. `delay` An amount of time that lapses before the animation plays. `speed` A factor that increases or decreases the animation’s rate of playback. --- Copyright © 2026 Apple Inc.
