  • FX affecting whole clip even with keyframes.

    Pretty straight forward. I have a clip, and then I add a video fx like gaussian blur. I then want to blur only part of the clip so I add a start keyframe and an end keyframe. Yet the whole clip is only being effected?!?! What am I doing wrong?

    If you want a blur a section of a clip thjere are a couple of ways.
    The easiest is probably just to S(plit) the clip at beginning and end of section desired and applly blur to the section.
    To use keyframes, run your cursor to the point you want the blur to start. Set your blur and set a keyframe (should happen automatically). Then run curser to where you want the blur to end and remove the blur. This should set another keyframe. NOW the key is to set each key at “hold”. This means that the parameters that you set for the keyframe will be held until the next keyframe and then will abruptly change to the new parameters. Otherwise gradual changes will occur throughout the whole clip. You set the properties of the keyframe by right clicking on the diamond keyframe.
