©When the mouse pointer moves over a shot icon (whether in
the Shot Palette or the icon for the current effect), a gear button
is shown (Figure 240). As we observed when discussing more
mundane effects, you can click this gear to open the Effect Preset
Editor (a.k.a., the ‘Shot Editor’).
While this tool provides control for some other effects too, its principle purpose is to
allow you to create custom shots for virtual sets. In turn, this permits you to
perform great looking animated camera moves that center on various points of
interest in the frame.

Operations in Effect Preset Editor are very easy to perform. The current shot is
bordered in blue in the selector across the bottom of the pane. Simply click to
choose another shot to modify.
To change the zoom level of the LiveSet shown on the large canvas, roll your mouse
wheel; or drag the M/E’s T-bar; or hold down the right mouse button while dragging
vertically. To pan the preview on the canvas, left-click, hold and drag.
