286 Chapter 14 Keyframing
How Keyframing Works in Different Rooms
You can keyframe effects in the Primary In, Secondaries, Color FX, Primary Out and
Geometry rooms. Each room has its own separate set of keyframes, stored in individual
tracks of the keyframe graph of the Timeline. These tracks are hidden until you start
adding keyframes within a particular room, which makes that room’s keyframe track
visible.
Keyframes created in each room are visible in the Timeline all at once, but you can only
edit and delete the keyframes of the room that’s currently open. All other keyframes
are locked until you open their associated rooms.
Although the ways you create, edit, and remove keyframes are identical for every room,
keyframes have different effects in each room.
Keyframing Corrections in the Primary In and Out Rooms
You can keyframe every control and parameter in the Primary In and Out rooms. This
lets you correct inappropriately shifting lighting and color caused by automatic camera
settings, as well as create animated effects of your own. There are two caveats to
keyframing corrections in the Primary In and Out rooms:
 Keyframes in the Primary rooms record the state of every control at once. It’s not
possible to keyframe individual parameters.
 Curves cannot be animated with keyframes, although every other parameter in the
Primary In and Primary Out rooms can be.
Note: How color adjustments are animated depends on the Radial HSL Interpolation
setting in the User Prefs tab of the Setup room. Most of the time, you’ll get the best
results by leaving this option off. For more information, see “User Preferences Tab” on
page 102.
Keyframing Secondary Corrections
Like parameters and controls in the Primary In and Out rooms, most of the color
correction parameters and controls in the Secondaries room can be animated. Each of
the eight secondary tabs has its own keyframe track. Furthermore, each secondary tab’s
Inside and Outside settings are individually keyframed.
