shot zooms in and stays zoomed in for its duration.
Saving and Applying Effect Templates
After you have modified an effect, you can save the parameters as a tem-
plate and apply the template to other effects.
To save an effect template in a bin:
1. Create a bin called Effect Templates (recommended).
2. In Effect mode, drag the icon of the effect from the top-right corner of
the Effect Editor window, and drop the icon into the bin to save only
the effect parameters.
An effect template appears in the bin, containing all the keyframed param-
eters assigned to the effect. In Text view, an icon identifies the effect type,
and the effect template is assigned the name of the effect type.
NOTE In the upcom-
ing exercise, the next
shot you’ll zoom into is
also marked by a blue
locator, “Ballerina duo 1
LS.” However, instead of
creating the zoom from
scratch, you will use the
zoom you’ve already cre-
ated and apply it to the
new shot. You’ll learn
saving and applying
effect templates in the
next section.
