Lesson 2 Review Flashcards
Lesson Two Objectives Upon completion of Lesson Two, “Building a Composite” in “Motion 5,” you should be able to complete the following tasks. Five items from this lesson are included in the pool of Level One exam questions. Questions are drawn randomly from the following objectives: • Apply blend modes and combine with filters • Import layered Photoshop files • Copy layers and filters • Work with image sequences • Perform Timeline edits • Change preferences • Make clone layers • Trans
How can you ensure that transparent areas of your project will appear black?
Choose Edit > Project Properties and set Background to Solid.
ou are using the HUD to change the brightness of a filter, but even at the maximum setting, it’s not bright enough. Where can you enter a higher value?
In the Inspector
Name two blend modes that will generally result in a lighter image.
Add, Lighten, Screen, Color Dodge, or Linear Dodge
Identify two ways to modify the impact of a blend mode.
Lower the opacity of the layer, duplicate the layer, or add a colorize filter.
When you want to make a copy of a layer or group, what is an
alternative to duplicating?
Use Make Clone Layer, which is similar to duplicating, but uses less memory, and the clone layer inherits certain properties of the original.
Identify the three options for importing a multilayered Photoshop file.
As merged layers, as all layers, or by selecting an individual layer
A client gives you 50 digital photos to use in a Motion project. You put them in a folder on your desktop, but when you look in the folder using the File Browser in Motion, all you see is a single icon. What’s going on, and what can you do to see all the photos?
The photos are numbered sequentially and appear by default in the File Browser as a collapsed image sequence. Click the “Show image sequences as collapsed” button to see the individual files.
Name three types of edits you can perform in Motion.
Composite, overwrite, insert, sequential
