1 | Drag the effect to the clip or select the clip and drag the effect to the Effect Controls panel. |
2 | Move the Effect Controls panel's CTI to where you want a keyframe and switch on keyframes by clicking the Toggle Animation button, move the CTI and click the Add/Remove Keyframe button, and with keyframes on, move the CTI to a position and change a parameter. |
3 | One of two ways, depending on the effect. Some effects, such as Fast Blur, have a zero setting where they do not change the clip's appearance. In that case place a keyframe where you want the effect to start and set it to zero. Other effects are always "on" to some degree. In those cases, use the Razor Edit Tool to cut the clip where you want the effect to start and apply the effect to the segment to the right. |
4 | You need to move the Timeline CTI to the selected clip to see it in the Program Monitor. Simply selecting a clip does not move the CTI to that clip. |
5 | Use the Go to Next/Previous Keyframe buttons and change the parameter value directly next to the parameter descriptor, or drag that keyframe's Value Graph button up or down. |
6 | Apply Keyframe Interpolation by right-clicking on a keyframe and selecting one of the keyframe interpolation methods such as Bezier or Ease In. Change those default settings by dragging the Bezier curve handles. |
