The KeyFrame Library and the Library Browser
185
The Library Browser is a great way to teach yourself how to use Avid FX. You can insert an
a setting file and adjust the parameters. Use the Smart View to display only the parameters
that you changed.
n
The first time you browse the KeyFrame Library you must click the Generate Thumbnails
button to generate thumbnail images for the effects. To reduce processing time, it is best to
do this from the Avid FX Engine itself, rather than from within your Avid editor.
To access the Library Browser:
t Select Window > Library Browser.
Previewing Animated Thumbnails
Before you decide whether you should use a setting file, you can preview how it’s animated
first, and then decide what changes you would like to make once the file is on the timeline.
When Animate Thumbnails is off and you select a thumbnail and press the left or right arrow
key, the thumbnail image changes allowing you to scroll through the effect. This is
especially useful in previewing effects in the KeyFrame Library. If Animate Thumbnails is
on, the arrow keys allow you to move from thumbnail to thumbnail in the Available Effects
window.
