Animating a clip’s position in the Program Monitor

1

Select a clip in a Timeline panel.

2

Do one of the following:

Select the Motion effect in the Effect Controls panel.

Click the image in the Program Monitor.

Click the Transform icon

next to Motion in the Effect Controls panel.

Handles appear around the clip’s perimeter in the Program Monitor.

Note: If you don’t see the clip handles, change the Zoom Level in the Program Monitor to a smaller percentage so that the
gray work area around the video frame appears.

3

Move the current-time indicator to the frame where you want to start the animation—any frame between the clip’s
current In point to its Out point.

4

In the Effect Controls panel, expand the Motion effect and click the Toggle Animation button

next to each

property you want to define at that point in time. A Keyframe icon appears at the current-time indicator for that
property.

5

In the Program Monitor, change the keyframe value by positioning the pointer near any of the clip’s eight square
handles to use any of the following pointer tools:

The selection pointer to set the position value.

The rotate pointer

to set the rotation value.

The scale pointer

to set the scale value.

Note: If clip handles disappear, reselect the Motion effect in the Effect Controls panel.
