Reset Button
Each parameter set in the Inspector is equipped with a reset button. A parameter set
might be a filter, or it might be a category of effects or transformations, such as Transform,
Blending, Drop Shadow, or other items in the Properties Inspector.
Reset button
The reset button removes all keyframes applied to all parameters in the set and restores
those parameters to their default state.
Animating Filters
In addition to making changes to a clip’s basic attributes, keyframing can be used to
modify most parameters in the application. When the Record button is activated, any
parameter displayed on the HUD becomes keyframeable. For example, as you apply filters
to objects, the most important parameters are displayed on the HUD. Using keyframes,
you can animate those parameters. In this way, you can create a shot that grows more
distorted, blurry, or changes color over time.
To animate a filter using the HUD
1 Select an object to modify.
2 Apply a filter to the object.
The HUD changes to display the parameters for the filter. For more information on how
to apply filters, see Applying and Removing Filters.
3 Click the Record button (or press A) to turn on keyframe recording.
4 Place the playhead where you want the effect to begin changing.
