Hi morgancarrie,
Thanks for writing in and giving us great info and that screenshot. It helped me understand what's going on.
I'm new to learning how to add subtitles to my video, so I'm using the "Simple Broadcast Option" from the Essential Graphics library. However, it needs an edit to the opening transition. I'd like to eliminate the entrance animation so the text is simply there when the video clip begins, but I'm having trouble finding where it is to delete it.
Is it the gray part of the graphic clip (where I have the yellow arrow pointing in my screenshot), and if so, how can I remove it? Where is it hiding?
You're right! The opening transition's left-most keyframes are out of view and you'd need to delete all six keyframes in order to do what you want. I can see how this can confuse you.
Here's the easiest way to fix this:
Drag the graphics clip down the timeline so that it is no longer touching the very beginning of the timeline. After you do that, all six keyframes appear in the Effect Controls panel. You can select them, then delete them. I found the left-most keyframes could not be marquee selected. I had to Shift-click them. Once deleted, you can put that graphics clip back into place as the first clip in the timeline by simply dragging it back. This worked for me. Hope it works for you.
As to why all six keyframes are not displayed by default, I'd have to investigate as to the reason. It may have something to do with responsive design, but to me, it looks like a bug. Sorry about that. Either way, it's confusing. I'm glad you came here for help, as I think we solved this one. Didn't we? 🙂
Thanks,
Kevin
