Apple LiveType 2 - Manual (Page 90)

90 Chapter 7 Working With Effects and Keyframe Animation
To disable an effect for one or more glyphs on a track:
1 Select the track.
2 Select the character(s) that you don’t want the effect to apply to, either by highlighting
them in the text-entry box or selecting them in the Canvas.
Because you cannot select noncontiguous characters at the same time, you may have
to do these steps more than once.
3 In the Effects tab of the Inspector, deselect the checkbox next to the effect you want to
turn off for the selected characters.
Adjusting the Timing of an Effect
All of the timing parameters applicable to tracks that contain LiveType media elements
also apply to effects.
Just as you can drag a track in the Timeline to adjust its starting point and duration,
you can do the same with an effect. Settings in the Timing tab of the Inspector
determine how an effect is applied to each letter on a track, how fast it runs, and how
many times the effect repeats.
The Timing tab includes an array of options that allow you to orchestrate the
movement of your Canvas elements. Timing tab settings apply to the effect that is
selected in the Timeline.
Canvas elements reflect the
current frame, as determined
by the playhead position. The Effects tab of the
Inspector shows the effects
applied to the active track.
Preset effects are applied
from the Effects tab of
the Media Browser.
