203 Review questions 1 Which Motion parameter will create a PIP?
2 You start Rotation at its default setting, move the current-time indicator, add a Rotation
keyframe with a value of 2x, and then give a value of –2x to the next keyframe. Describe
what will happen.
3 You want a clip to appear full-screen for a few seconds and then spin away. How do you
make the Motion effect’s Rotation feature start within a clip rather than at the beginning?
4 How can you start a PIP rotating slowly and have it stop rotating slowly?
5 If you want to add a drop shadow to a spinning clip, why do you need to use some other
motion-related effect besides the Motion fixed effect?
6 One way to apply the same customized effect to multiple clips is to use a preset. How do
you make one?
Review answers 1 The Scale parameter will adjust the size of the clip to make it larger or smaller—when
a smaller clip is located above another in a sequence, this makes the top clip a PIP.
2 It will spin clockwise twice as it approaches the first keyframe. Then it will spin
counterclockwise four times as it moves to the next keyframe. The number of spins
equals the difference between two keyframe rotation values. Set the Rotation value
back to 0 (zero) to have it spin counterclockwise twice.
3 Position the current-time indicator where you want the Rotation to begin, and click the
Add/Remove Keyframe button. Then move to where you want the spinning to end, and
change the Rotation parameter; another keyframe will appear.
4 Use the Ease Out and Ease In parameters to change the keyframe interpolation to be
gradual rather than sudden.
5 The Motion fixed effect is the last effect applied to a clip. Motion takes whatever effects
you apply before it (including Drop Shadow) and spins the entire assemblage as a single
unit. To create a realistic drop shadow on a spinning object, use Transform or Basic 3D,
and then place Drop Shadow below one of those effects in the Effect Controls panel.
6 Adjust the effect parameters to your liking, click the effect name in the Effect Controls
panel to select it, open the Effect Controls panel menu, choose Save Preset, give the
preset a name, select one of the three parameters, and click OK.
