User Manual

These controls include:
 Enable button: A toggle control to the left of the parameter group’s name lets you
disable and re-enable every parameter within that group at once. Orange means that
track’s enabled. Gray is disabled.
 Parameter group title bar: Double-clicking the title bar of any group of parameters
collapses or opens them. Even more exciting than that, Option-double-clicking the title
bar of one parameter group collapses or opens all parameter groups at once.
 Keyframe and Next/Previous Keyframe buttons: This button lets you add or remove
keyframes at the position of the playhead to or from every single parameter within the
group. When the button is highlighted orange, a keyframe is at the current position of
the playhead. When it’s dark gray, there is no keyframe. Left and right arrow buttons let
you jump the playhead from keyframe to keyframe for further adjustment.
 Reset button: Lets you reset all parameters within that group to their default settings.
Making Simple Adjustments
Every group of controls in the Inspector largely consists of sliders, checkboxes, drop-down
menus, buttons, and the occasional custom control.
Adjusting Multiple Clips at the Same Time
There’s an easy way to make adjustments to the Inspector parameters of multiple clips at the
same time, without needing to use Paste Attributes (described later in this chapter). All you
need to do is simultaneously select every clip you want to alter, and then modify the parameter
in the Inspector that you want to change. As a result, every selected clip will be adjusted by the
same amount. This works for compositing effects, transforms, text parameters, filters, and audio
settings, just about anything that can be simultaneously exposed in the Inspector for multiple
selected clips.
When you select multiple clips, the Inspector will display “Multiple Clips” as the title. If each of
the selected clips have different values in the parameter you’re adjusting, that parameter will
have two dashes in the value field. There are two ways you can make adjustments to
multiple clips:
 If you want to make a relative adjustment to all selected clips while keeping their
original offsets from one another, then drag the virtual slider in the parameter field
which will display a + or – before however many units your adjustment is.
 However, if you want to set all selected clips to the same value, you can double-click in
the number field, type the value, and press Return.
