LESSON 10
Putting Clips in Motion
Getting started
As you watch TV advertisements, you’re bound to see videos with clips flying over 
other images or clips that rotate onscreen—starting as small dots and expanding 
to full-screen size. You can create those effects by using the Motion fixed effect or 
several clip-based effects with Motion settings.
You use the Motion effect to position, rotate, or scale a clip within the video frame. 
You can make those adjustments directly in the Program Monitor by dragging to 
change its position, or you can drag or rotate its handles to change its size, shape, 
or orientation.
You can also adjust Motion parameters in the Effect Controls panel and animate 
clips by using keyframes and Bezier controls.
Applying the Motion effect to clips
You adjust Motion effect parameters in the Program Monitor and the Effect 
Controls panel.
