Applying Behaviors

Behaviors alter the look and feel of the beginning, middle, or end of media assets.

To add behaviors to media:

  1. With clips added to the Timeline, select the Behaviors panel.

  2. Select a behavior and drag it over a clip on the Timeline. The symbol that displays over your media clip represents if the behavior is In, During, or Out.

    3. For a behavior that stylizes the entrance of a media asset, select from the In tab at the top of the Behaviors section. Applied behaviors from the In tab are indicated on a clip using the adjacent circle icon combination.

    For a behavior that occurs during a media asset's run time, select from the During tab. Applied behaviors from the During tab are indicated on a clip using the adjacent circle icon combination.

    For a behavior that stylizes the exit of a media asset, select from the Out tab. Applied behaviors from the Out tab are indicated on a clip using the adjacent circle icon combination.

To remove behaviors from a clip, right click on the Media clip and select Remove All Behaviors.

This will reset In, During, and Out styles back to the default of None.
