Reset Fade In/Fade Out values back to 0 for each new effect
« on: December 16, 2015, 06:39:45 AM »
This is something that gets me occasionally, maybe it's not an issue for others.  When I add a fade in or fade out to an effect, that values stays set in the Layer Blending box and will apply to all other effects added afterwards until I catch it.  I'm better at being aware of this now so it isn't a problem for me like it used to be, but is there a way to reset the values back to 0 after using so that new effects won't have the other value attached?  Currently, I put an On effect in an empty cell, reset the Fade In/Fade Out back to 0 then delete the effect.  Perhaps I'm doing this wrong to being with.

You're not doing anything wrong.  That's happened and annoyed me also but not sure the best option to fix it.  It's not just the fade values its everything that works like that.  Sparkles, brightness, colors, fades, persistence, etc.  They all stay on whatever they were left on.  I had it happen the other day I accidentally had like 50 effects with sparkles and fades that I didn't want there all because I did want it on one effect.

I totally forgot about the other effects as well.  Don't worry about if it it's too complex to fix, it's just something I need to keep in mind when sequencing.  Thanks.

It's not that it's too complex its more about the making the right decisions.  A lot of times you can change things to please half the people and then the change upsets the other half that like the way it worked.
