Editing Generators
In this section, the Checkerboard generator parameters are edited to modify the
appearance of the default generator.
To edit the Checkerboard generator:
1 Add the Checkerboard generator to your project.
Note: For information on adding a generator to your project, see “ Adding a Generator ”
on page 796.
The default Checkerboard generator appears in the Canvas, Layers tab, and in the
Timeline, and the Dashboard appears.
The Checkerboard generator Dashboard contains controls for editing and animating
the checkerboard, such as Opacity, Blend Mode, Width, Height, Color, Size (of the
checkers), and Contrast. The only Checkerboard parameter that does not appear in the
Dashboard is Pixel Aspect Ratio (which appears in the Inspector).
