172 LESSON 9
Adding Video Effects
17 Use the slider to change the Count value to 2. That’s one simple way to change
a keyframe’s value.
18 Click the Go To Next Keyframe button to move to the third (out of four) keyframe.
19 Hover the pointer over the corresponding keyframe on the Value graph (shown
here). When it changes to the Selection tool, drag the keyframe as high as it will
go to change its value to 16.
This is the other way to change a keyframe’s value.
#
Note: If you don’t move the current-time indicator to the clip you’re applying an effect to, you
won’t see that clip or its effect in the Program Monitor. Selecting a clip does not move the current-
time indicator to that clip.
20 Drag the title called Sir Drake from the Project panel to the track above the
first video clip. Stretch the title clip to be the same length as the video clip
beneath it.
21 Position the current-time indicator at the beginning of the Sir Drake clip, and
select it to display its parameters in the Effect Controls panel.
22 Select the Magnify effect from the Video Effects > Distort menu, and drag it to
the title clip or to the Effect Controls panel.
23 Set a keyframe at the beginning of the clip, with the Center value set to 10, 240.
24 Set a keyframe near the middle of the clip, with the Center value set to 740, 240.
25 Play this clip.
#
Note: You can drag
the keyframe only up
or down. It will not
allow you to move it
left or right to avoid
inadvertently changing
the keyframe’s time
position within the clip.
#
Note: Make sure
to activate keyframing
in the Center option
by clicking the “Toggle
animation” button.
#
Note: Effects are
great ways to animate or
move a graphic or some
text over a video clip.
