Working with Effects and Filters
173
When you apply an effect, a filter track is created on the timeline. You must select the shape,
face, or container track on which you want to apply the effect. If you do not select a track,
the filter is applied directly at the top of the timeline. You can adjust the parameters of the
filter to achieve the effect that you want. Some filter tracks contain other sub-tracks such as
the PixelChooser or Map track.
If you do not want to animate a parameter, you must set the default interpolation to Constant
or be sure to select the Toggle Animate/Static Mode button in the Controls window. The
parameter will retain its value throughout the course of the effect without creating new
keyframes on the timeline. You will find this useful when compositing effects.
Applying Effects and Filters
You can apply a filter to a shape as a upstream or downstream filter. This will determine the
order in which it will processed. See “Upstream and Downstream Filters” on page 174.
To create animated effects, see “Animation” on page 209.
To apply a filter:
1. Select the track to which you want to apply the filter.
2. From the Filters menu, browse to and select a filter.
