Apple Motion 4 - Manual (Page 160)

• Next Keyframe: Moves the playhead to the next keyframe for this parameter. The Next
Keyframe command is only available if a keyframe exists later in the project.
• Show in Keyframe Editor: Opens the Keyframe Editor if it is not displayed and displays
the graph for the parameter you are modifying.
Rasterization Indicator
In the Properties tab of the Inspector, a small “LED” icon appears when a group is
rasterized. This is called the rasterization indicator. This is not a control, but rather an
indicator to alert you that a group has been rasterized.
Some operations, as well the application of certain filters or a mask, cause a group to be
rasterized. When a group is rasterized, it is converted into a bitmap image. Rasterization
affects 2D and 3D groups in different ways. When a 2D group is rasterized, the blend
modes on objects within the group no longer interact with objects outside of the group.
In addition, when a 3D group is rasterized, the group as a whole can no longer intersect
with objects outside of the group. The rasterized 3D group is treated as a single object
and uses layer order, rather than depth order when being composited in the project.
Once an operation triggers a rasterization on a group, the rasterization indicator appears
next to the parameter in the Properties tab.

Additionally, a small frame appears around the 2D or 3D group icon (to the left of the
group name) in the Layers tab and Timeline layers list.
