Animation pop-up menu: A hidden pop-up menu on the right side of many parameter rows
in the Inspector. The Animation pop-up menu lets you perform animation- and parameter-
related tasks: adding keyframes, assigning Parameter behaviors, managing rigs, and so on. To
open an Animation pop-up menu in the Inspector, move the pointer to the right side of the
parameter you want to animate and, when the downward arrow appears, click it.
For more information on animating parameters by using options in the Animation pop-up
menu, see
Animation menu on page 449.
Rasterization indicator
In the Properties Inspector, a small red “R” indicator appears when a group becomes rasterized.
This icon is called a rasterization indicator. The rasterization indicator is not a control; it is an alert
telling you that a group is rasterized.
Some operations, as well as the application of specific 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 the group. When a 3D group is
rasterized, the group cannot intersect with objects outside 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.
When the adjustment of a parameter triggers rasterization of a group, a rasterization indicator
appears to the left of that parameter’s name in the Properties Inspector.
Additionally, a frame appears around the 2D or 3D group icon (the stack icon to the left of the
group name) in the Layers list and Timeline.
For more information on rasterization, see Groups and rasterization on page 1045.
