Chapter 10 Finish
Certain related functions that are set using a slider (such as width and height) can be linked together by
clicking the Lock button (Lock icon closes). In this case, any changes made to one parameter directly
affect the other. If the Lock icon is open, parameters can be set separately.
To fine-tune effect parameters, it is recommended that you use the mouse wheel on your
wheel mouse.
Options
The Options tab contains three drop-down menus:
Alpha - lets you deactivate an existing alpha channel and create a new one, e.g. for title graphics.
Key Frames - lets you define whether Key Frames are to be used in the effect.
It is advisable not to use Key Frames if the effect maintains constant parameters throughout the
time sequence.
Render Options - lets you define whether the effect should be computed in fields or frames.
Normally, the Render Fields option should be selected. The Render Frames option is useful only for cer-
tain effects (for example, for some key effects it helps obtain better key results). However, if the end prod-
uct is “film” -- which also includes AVI and Quicktime movies -- the frame setting is helpful because the
editors then render in frame mode.
