Active Parameters
The Active Parameters area of the Effects tab of the Inspector is a valuable resource for
identifying which parameters are active in an effect, and what their values are at any
point in time, as defined by the playhead position.
Active parameters are displayed with the values associated with the current frame.
Parameter variables are further described in Appendix B, “
Creating and Editing
EffectScripts ,” on page 135.
To change a parameter value in the Effects tab:
1 Select a keyframe.
2 Double-click a parameter in the Active Parameters stack.
3 Enter a value in the parameter dialog, then click OK.
Note: If you change a parameter when the playhead is not at a keyframe, a keyframe is
added to the effect at the playhead position.
The Parameter pop-up menu lists all of the keyframe parameters.
To add a new parameter to the Active Parameters stack of an effect:
1 Select the effect.
2 Do one of the following:
 Click the LED next to the parameter in the Text, Style, or Attributes tab of the
Inspector. The selected LED illuminates.
 In the Effects tab of the Inspector, make a selection from the Parameter pop-up
menu and click the + button. The parameter appears in the Active Parameters stack.
 Change the parameter for one keyframe in the Text, Style, or Attributes tab of
the Inspector.
 Add Offset, Rotation, or Scale to the stack by modifying a glyph of the active track
using the bounding box handles or dragging the glyph to a new position.
