Changing Filter Timing
In Motion, the timing component of a filter is represented as purple a bar in the Timeline
and mini-Timeline. Like other duration bars, filter timebars can be trimmed or moved
(slipped) in their Timeline tracks to adjust the timing of an applied effect.
When you apply a filter to an object, the duration of the filter defaults to the length of
the object it is applied to. In the following image, the purple bar represents the filter.
After you apply a filter, its duration can be modified to affect the target image for a specific
amount of time. For example, applying the Circle Blur filter to an object blurs the object
for the object’s entire duration. However, changing In and Out points of the Circle Blur
filter bar changes how long the blur is applied to the object.
To trim a filter in the Timeline
1 In the Timeline track area, position the pointer over the In or Out point (the left or right
edge) of the filter bar to trim.
