Applying a ParameterIf you need to apply any parameter to the whole length of a transitionfor example, if you are using Mirror to flip an imagethen drag the Keyframe symbol from the parameter's label area into the preview screen of the editor. Those settings in the parameter box then apply to the whole transition (Figure 8.41 ). Figure 8.41.
