Apple Final Cut Pro 7 - Manual (Page 1126)

To move selected motion paths
1 In the Canvas, do one of the following:
• Choose View > Image+Wireframe.
• Choose View > Wireframe.
2 Hold down the Command and Shift keys, select the clip in the Canvas, then drag the clip
to move the motion path.
Don’t click a keyframe or you’ll move the keyframe itself and not the entire motion path.
The pointer changes
to a hand while you
are dragging.
Creating and Applying Motion Favorites
If there’s a particular set of keyframed motion effects that you want to use over and over
again, you can create a motion favorite. For example, suppose you’re working on a
documentary that always moves a lower third graphic with the name of the current
speaker into the video frame along a particular motion path. You can save this motion
path as a favorite so that you can apply it to all the lower third titles in your project without
having to re-create the path from scratch every time.
To create a motion favorite
1 Select a clip in the Timeline that has a series of motion effect keyframes that you want
to use as a favorite.
This clip can have as many keyframes in as many motion parameters as you want.
2 Choose Effects > Make Favorite Motion (or press Control-F).
All motion effect keyframes from that clip are saved as a motion favorite in the Favorites
bin of the Effects tab of the Browser. By default, the motion favorite has the name of the
clip the motion effect keyframes were copied from, but you can change this name.
To change the name of a motion favorite
1 Select the motion favorite in the Favorites bin of the Effects tab of the Browser.
2 Click the name of the motion favorite, type a new name, then press Return.
