Hey there,

 

I am animating subtitles for a TikTok video. I would like to change the effect control of multiple graphic at once (check the video for what I mean). I tried nesting but this won't work because of the anchor point.

 

Is there a solution, it would save me a lot of work!

 

Thanks,

Freek

Effect keyframes that you create in the Effect Controls panel can be saved as a preset

that you can apply to all clips on your timeline.

select all effects in the effect controls panel that you want to apply to your clips,

right click and choose 'Save Preset'. You will find it in the Presets bin in the Effects panel.

select all clips on the timeline on which you want to apply the saved preset, then drag and drop...

Hope this helps

Your video does not show what the visual change is. You are typing in the numbers but I do not see any changes as your playhead is on another clip.

Why are you changing position in the Video/Motion and not the source text.

I want to animate the subtitles using the scale. The subtitles are not centered in the middle of the video. If I use the scale effect the 'pop-up' edit pops up from the middle instead of the place where the text is placed.  Therefore, I use the anchor point to fix this. The problem is that this takes a lot of time to do for multiple graphics.

I have added a screen capture from what I am doing. I have to add this effect to a large amount of graphics. Is it possible to add this effect to all graphics at once? Thanks for the help 🙂
