Tutorial 1

The Motion Interface

4

Drag the Color Balance filter to the GreenSquares object in the Canvas.

The filter is applied to the object and the Color Balance Dashboard appears.

5

Drag the Midtone Blue slider to approximately .32.

The boxes turn blue.

6

Play the project (press the Space bar).

Now the blue boxes and green boxes overlap creating an attractive effect.

The Final Touch

The National Geographic logo and the two sets of squares that you added all begin at
the first frame of the project, but unlike the rest of the elements, they do not fade in.
This can easily be remedied by applying a Fade In/Fade Out behavior to the graphics
layer.

Keep in mind that you can actively play back a project while applying and modifying
filters and behaviors. In this section, apply and adjust a behavior during playback.

To apply and modify a filter during playback:

1

If the project is not playing back, click the Play button.

2

In the Layers tab, select the graphics layer.

3

In the Toolbar, click the Add Behavior icon, then choose Basic Motion > Fade In/Fade Out.
