• Press D to cycle through all HUDs for the selected object. To cycle the HUDs in reverse,
press Shift-D.
The HUDs are cycled in the order in which the effects were applied.
When you select multiple objects of the same type, a combined HUD appears (with
“Multiple Selection” displayed in its title bar). You can adjust the parameters common to
the selected objects.
Jump to the Inspector from the HUD
Most of the time, the HUD displays a subset of the parameters visible in the Inspector for
the selected object. If you’re working in the HUD, you can jump to the Inspector to access
the remainder of the controls for that object.
• In Motion, click the Inspector icon (the “i”) in the upper-right corner of the HUD.
The Inspector corresponding to the HUD appears.

1. In the Layers list or canvas in Motion, select the objects (of the same type) to modify.
2. In the HUD titled “Multiple Selected,” adjust the parameters.
