Adjusting Keyframe Parameters

To change what an effect does, you have to alter its keyframes. While you can change
an effect’s parameters through the Effects tab by entering numeric values, it is usually
easier to make changes in a more visual way, using the full LiveType interface.

To adjust a keyframe by changing parameters in the Inspector:

1

Select a keyframe in the Timeline.

The playhead moves over the keyframe and the Canvas reflects the appearance of the
composition at that frame.

Note: If you change an effect parameter when the playhead is not over a keyframe, a
new keyframe is added at the current playhead position.

2

Adjust the attributes of the track.

The LED indicators in the Inspector indicate which attributes can be changed in the
context of an effect—they are all in the Text, Style, and Attributes tabs of the Inspector.

3

Click the Play button in the Canvas to see the results of your modification.

LED indicators appear

when an effect is

selected.
