Apple Color 1.0 - Manual (Page 287)

Chapter 14 Keyframing 287
In addition to the color and contrast controls, the following secondary controls can also
be animated using keyframes:
 The enable button that turns the secondary corrections off and on
 The qualifiers for the secondary keyer
 The Vignette button that turns vignetting off and on
 All vignette shape parameters
Note: Secondary curves cannot be animated with keyframes.
The ability to keyframe all of these controls means you can automate secondary color
correction operations in extremely powerful ways. For example, you can adjust the
qualifiers of the secondary keyer to compensate for a change of exposure in the
original shot that’s causing an unwanted change in the area of isolation.
Keyframing the vignette shape parameters lets you animate vignettes to follow a
moving subject, or to create other animated spotlight effects.
Keyframing Color FX
You can keyframe node parameters in the Color FX room to create all sorts of effects.
Even though the Color FX room only has a single keyframe track, each node in your
node tree has its own keyframes. You can record the state of every parameter within a
node using a single set of keyframes; however, a node’s parameters cannot be
individually keyframed.
The only keyframes that are displayed in the Color FX room’s keyframe track are those
of the node that’s currently selected for editing. All other node keyframes are hidden.
This can be a bit confusing at first, as keyframes appear and disappear in the Timeline
depending on which node is currently being edited.
Keyframing Pan & Scan Effects
You can keyframe all the adjustments you make using the Pan & Scan parameters and
onscreen controls in the Geometry room, creating animated Pan & Scan effects and
geometric transformations. All parameters are keyframed together.
Keyframing User Shapes
You can keyframe user shapes created in the Shapes tab of the Geometry room to
rotoscope (isolate by tracing frame by frame) moving subjects and areas of the frame
for detailed correction in the Secondaries room.
Note: You can only keyframe shapes after they have been assigned to a tab in the
Secondaries room.
