Apple Motion 2 - Manual (Page 714)

714 Chapter 10 Using Filters
2 When the pointer changes to the Trim pointer, drag the In or Out point to change the
duration of the filter.
As you drag, the new In or Out points are displayed. Also displayed is the delta value,
which represents the amount of change for the duration.
Slipping Filters in Time
In addition to changing a filter’s duration, you can also slip its position in the Timeline
relative to the object it’s nested under. This allows you to set the frame at which a filter
begins to take effect.
To slip a filter in the Timeline:
m Click anywhere in the middle of a filter in the Timeline, and drag it to the left or right to
move its In point to another frame.
The filter is moved and its duration is not affected. While you drag, the new In and Out
points are indicated, along with the amount of change (the delta).
Blur Filters
Blur filters take many forms in Motion. They can be used practically to simulate the real-
world blurring that occurs due to the depth of field in photographed material, or they
can be used creatively to make all kinds of designed effects. Motion provides a wide
variety of blur filters you can use for any task.
