Actions

Actions are property changes used to transition the media from one state to another. You can use video, audio, screen recording, and callout actions.

Adding an Action

To add an action, select the clip, display the property that you want to modify, then click the Add Action button at the bottom of the property panel. The action is placed in relation to the position of the scrubber, but can be moved to any location on the clip. The duration of the action is changed by dragging the edge of the action to lengthen or shorten it.

Figure 27. Video Properties Action

Place the scrubber before or after the action to make changes to the property relative to the action. If the scrubber is placed before the action, this sets the properties of the clip before the action. If the scrubber is placed after the action, this sets the properties of the clip after the action.
