> Actions Menu
> Actions are time-based changes to clips used to create gradual temporal or temporary effects. Actions are applied mid-point, where the change takes place.
> This topic describes each menu item in the Actions menu, as described in Table 44.

> Table 44. Actions Menu Items
> Menu Item | Description
> Add Video Action (Command-K) | Adds a Video Action to the selected clip at the location of the scrubber. A Video Action allows you to apply effects like Zoom, Pan, and Rotate to your video clip.
> Add Audio Action | Adds an Audio Action to the selected clip. An Audio Action allows you to apply various effects on the audio of the selected clip, such as ducking, or adjusting the volume.
> Add Screen Recording Action (Command-R) | Adds a Screen Recording Action to the selected screen recording clip. Screen Recording actions enable you to modify the size of the Mouse Pointer, add click effects, or show keys pressed, for example.
> Add Callout (Command-L) | Adds a Callout to the selected screen recording clip. A callout lets you focus attention on a section of your project. For example, you can highlight the mouse pointer by dimming everything but the area just around the mouse pointer or highlight and magnify the foreground window.

> Go to Next Action | Within a clip, selects the next action.
> Go to Previous Action | Within a clip, selects the previous action.
> Play Selected Action | Plays the currently selected action.
> Curve Type | By default, actions are applied to the clip in a linear manner. For example, when applying a scaling action, the image size changes by equal amounts from start to finish. This may be perceived as too abrupt, so you can modify the rate with which an action is applied. The Curve Type menu item has these submenu items:
> Linear | Linear transition.
> Ease-In | Starting slow, speeding up towards the end.
> Ease-Out | Starting fast, slowing down towards the end.
> Ease-In & Out | Starting and ending slowly, faster in the middle.
> Exponential Ease-In | Starting slow, speeding up exponentially towards the end.
> Exponential Ease-Out | Starting fast, slowing down exponentially towards the end.
> Exponential Ease-In & Out | Starting and ending slowly, exponentially faster in the middle.
> None | Applies action immediately. The duration of the action is ignored if this option is applied.
