Editing with Keyframes
As you can see from the earlier examples, actually adding a transition is relatively easy. The fun really starts when you want to alter the basic parameters of that transition to create something unique in your project. This is called editing with keyframes (I explain keyframes in more depth in the "Chapter 7, and you open them in a similar fashion.
To open a Transition Editor
Do one of the following:

- Right-clicking a transition allows you to access the full range of editing options allowed for each transition.
- Clicking on the Maximum Inlay Size button
on the Liquid Edition toolbar will create a bigger preview screen for you to use when adding transitions.
Understanding KeyframesWhen you adjust the parameters in the transition editor, a small gray diamond appears on the editor's Source Viewer Timeline (Figure 8.36 ). Figure 8.36. The keyframe control bar.Chapter 7. |
