Performing a Global Parameter Change in LiveType 2

Another way to alter premade effects is to manipulate just one keyframe parameter, then apply the change globally to the entire effect.

  1. Apply an effect to the text you have created. In this example, I have chose the Dirst Stop effect under the Caricature menu.

  2. Select the effect in the timeline.

  3. Make a change to the effect by manipulating a property in either the Text , Style or Attributes tabs. In this example, I will be changing the XY scale larger under the Attributes tab.

    Note: You can either select an existing keyframe in the effect by clicking on it or parking the locator bar over an area that does not have a keyframe and one will be made for you as you adjust a parameter.

  4. Option click the LED next to the parameter that you have just changed to apply it to the entire effect. You will see that the X and Y parameters will be altered for the entire effect. LED.jpg
