Actions

Actions are property changes used to transition the media from one state to another. Actions are added to a clip by selecting the clip, opening the property that you want to alter, then clicking the Add Action button at the bottom of the properties pane. The action is placed in relation to the position of the scrubber, but can be moved on the clip. The duration of the action is changed by dragging the edge of the action to lengthen or shorten the action.

Figure 6. Video Properties Action

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