To animate a clip in the Program Monitor
WhentheMotioneffectisselectedintheEffectControlspanel,youcanmanipulateaclipintheProgramMonitor.
Create an animation by setting keyframes for one or more of the Motion effect’s properties (for example, Position).
1 Select a clip in the Timeline panel.
2 Do one of the following:
• Select the Motion effect in the Effect Controls panel.
• Click the image in the Program Monitor.
• Click the Transform icon next to Motion in the Effect Controls panel.
Handles appear around the clip’s perimeter in the Program Monitor.
Note: If you don’t see the clip handles, change the Zoom Level in the Program Monitor to a smaller percentage so that
the gray work area around the video frame appears.

current In point to its Out point.
4 In the Effect Controls panel, expand the Motion effect and click the Toggle Animation button next to each
property you want to define at that point in time. A Keyframe icon appears at the current-time indicator for that
property.

handles to use any of the following pointer tools:
• The selection pointer to set the position value.
• The rotate pointer to set the rotation value.
• The scale pointer to set the scale value.
Note: If clips handles disappear, reselect the Motion effect in the Effect Controls panel.
6 Move the current-time indicator in either the Timeline or the Effect Controls panel to the time you want to define
a new value for the property (and thereby a new keyframe).
7 Manipulate the clip in the Program Monitor to set a new value for each property for which you set keyframes in
step 3. A new Keyframe icon appears in the Effect Controls panel at the current-time indicator.
8 Repeat steps 5 and 6 as needed.
When you animate a clip, it can be useful to reduce the Program Monitor’s magnification level. This way, you can
see more of the pasteboard area outside the visible area of the screen and can use it to position the clip off screen.
