Copying a generated media event

dragging an event to a new position on the timeline, or by dragging generated media from the Project
Media window to the timeline.
When you duplicate a generated media event, a dialog is displayed with two options:
n Create a new copy of the source media: The new event is created using the same settings as the
original event. Each event can be edited independently.
n Create a reference to the original media: The new event uses the same source media as the
original generated media event. Any change to either event affects both events.
Removing generated media
To remove generated media from your project, select the event and press Delete.
Animating a generated media event with keyframes
If you want to create an animated effect, use the keyframe controller at the bottom of the Video Media
Generators dialog to establish distinct settings throughout the duration of the effect.
During playback, intermediate frames are interpolated to create smooth motion. For more information
about keyframe animation, see "Keyframe Animation" on page 294.
