Every keyframeable parameter has an Animation menu, available by Control-clicking a
parameter’s name to reveal a shortcut menu, or by moving the pointer to the right side
of a parameter row in the Inspector, and clicking the downward arrow that appears.
Note: If the Animation menu corresponds to a parameter that cannot be animated, the
Enable Animation and Keyframe menu items are dimmed.
The Animation menu contains the following options:
• Show in Keyframe Editor: Opens the Keyframe Editor and displays the parameter’s
keyframes and curves. For more information, see Animating in the Keyframe Editor.
• Reset Parameter: Removes keyframes and settings for this parameter. The parameter
value is reset to its default value.
• Add To Rig: Lets you add a parameter to an existing rig, or to a new rig that you create
to control multiple parameters with a single checkbox, slider, or pop-up menu. Rigs
are useful when you create templates for Final Cut Pro X. For more information, see
Using Rigs and Creating Templates for Final Cut Pro X.
• Add Parameter Behavior: Opens a submenu listing all available Parameter behaviors
you can use to animate the parameter. For more information, see Applying Parameter
Behaviors to a Behavior.
