How to keep motion effects from merging?


Tim Fischer

Recommended Posts

Normally when you paste the same motion effect next to an existing one, they merge to become one long effect. Sometimes that's what you want, sometimes that isn't.

For example, on "once per duration" effects, I want to repeat that same effect over and over, and merging breaks that. In the past, my workaround was to create a second effect, change one parameter slightly, not enough for anyone to notice, and alternate between the two.

But that isn't working anymore for some reason... Currently on 6.2.16 (I need to update I know).

Help?

Put the effect on a 2nd ME row. Works in 6.2.18 ... and I assume many versions before that.

Ah, good idea. I'm still wrapping my head around using multiple rows. Thanks.

Using multiple rows also lets you start the second effect slightly before the first effects ends, which may result in a smoother transition.

Think multiple track video editing.
