Apple Motion 2 - Manual (Page 710)

710 Chapter 10 Using Filters
Enabling, Renaming, and Locking Filters
While the Filters tab in the Inspector contains all of the editable parameters for any
filter that has been applied to an object, the Layers tab and Timeline have three
primary controls for each filter that appears.
The following filter controls appear in the Layers tab and Timeline:
Activation checkbox: Turns each individual filter on or off. Filters that are turned off
are not rendered.
Name: The name of each filter can be customized by double-clicking the name and
typing a new one.
Lock: Click the lock icon to toggle the locked state on and off for the filter.
Copying, Pasting, and Moving Filters
Filters can be easily copied, pasted, and moved like any other object in Motion. There
are a number of ways you can move and copy filters among the other objects in the
Timeline or Project pane. They can be pasted over other filters, and moved across
projects. When you cut or copy a filter in the Timeline or Project pane, you also copy
the current state of all that filter’s parameters.
To cut or copy a filter:
1 Select the filter in the Layers tab or Timeline.
2 Do one of the following:
• To remove a filter, choose Edit > Cut (or press Command+X).
• To copy the filter, choose Edit > Copy (or press Command+C).
To paste a filter:
1 Select the object to which you want to apply the filter.
2 Choose Edit > Paste (or press Command+V).
The filter is applied with all its parameter settings intact.
