When you apply animated soft effects to timeline elements, you have three options for how animation channels are affected
when trimming. Access these options from the soft effect's Channel box. The selected option applies to all soft effects unless
they are locked.
NoteThe trimming options do not apply to Timewarp soft effects.
- Resize Channel
-
Locks the animation relative to the element's duration. If you change the duration of the element by trimming, the animation
and all its keyframes scale to fit the duration of the element after trimming.
- Link Channel
-
Links the animation to the media. When you trim, slip, or slide the element to which the soft effect has been applied, the
animation moves with the media. Keyframes move with the media as well.
- Unlink Channel
-
Unlinks the animation and the media. When you trim, slip, or slide the element to which the soft effect has been applied,
the media moves relative to the animation. In this case, keyframes retain their position relative to the beginning of the
element. They do not move with the media.
