Question Regarding Applying Adjustments Under Keyframing
I am in the learning/practicing stage of PE-11. Following along in Steve Grisetti’s book, I’ve been trying to learn about keyframing one’s adjustments.
As a learning exercise, I wish to instantaneously increase the gamma --- say, 10 points above normal --- for a length of five seconds of the timeline, then to snap back to normal. If I use the keyframing technique, my results are that, as the CTI line moves along, the image GRADUALLY lightens to the 10-point increase that I desired, then returns to normal. But for purposes of my test, I don’t want a gradual application of the Adjustment, but an instantaneous change, remaining such for five seconds, then returning to normal.
Am I interpreting these results correctly? Does keyframing by its nature always apply adjustments gradually, or did I do something wrong? And if I did nothing wrong, then how would one achieve the effect I am looking for, i.e., an instant, not gradual, application of some visual or audio adjustment for merely a few seconds, then return to normal?
Thank you,
Howard
