  • Having trouble with SHATTER

    Posted by Steve James on February 14, 2007 at 8:42 am

    Hello all,
    Although I’m a newbie, I have grasped keyframing and where in a clip to place effects. When I try to do a SHATTER ( say half-way along a clip ) it always seems to start at the BEGINNING of the clip !! I obviously haven’t grasped key-framing like I thought.
    Here’s what I’m trying to do . . .

    Total Frames of the clip = 250

    Frames 1-50 desired effect ” nothing happens ”
    Frames 51 – 150 desired effect ” the shatter does it’s thing ”
    Frames 151 – 250 desired effect ” the shatter reverses itself ”

    I apologise for my dumbness, and hope someone can help.
    Thanks.
