Need help with effects please

Hi I made a nice wavy effect on the text title I made for a music video. The title stays for the duration of the song. At the moment however it stops waving about halfway through the song. I am not sure why this is happening can anyone help? Thank you

Rich,

Please step us through how you created the Effect.

It is most likely that you did the Effect (or combo of Effects) when the Duration of the Title was shorter, and then lengthened. If that is the case, you most likely have Keyframes where the Clip ended before, and they set things back to default. You should be able to move those Keyframes to the current end of the Clip, to have the Effects continue, but there could be something else in the exact Effects that you used, hence my first question. Probably just a matter of dragging some Keyframes around.

Good luck,

Hunt

Thanks for the help. I may have done that, but I don't remember. Would you mind telling me how I can locate the keyframes and move them. I have found the section where the effect stops (on the timeline) but don't know how to find the 'keyframe'. I have never worked explicity with keyframes before, so appreciate any help. Thank you.
