The real magic behind modifiers is what they allow you to do without need
for keyframes. The entire effect for this example was made without
manually editing a single keyframe. That’s what modifiers are really
designed to do – allow you to accomplish tasks that would otherwise take
tens, if not hundreds, of keyframes. Once you become comfortable working
with modifiers on entire slides or keyframe, you can begin copying those
modifiers in your show. This makes the creation of effects even easier.

Advanced Modifier Features

In this final section, you will learn about the advanced features and tools
available for working with modifiers. These include the ability to copy
modifiers across your slide, and the interactive fade lines that can be used
to refine and enhance modifiers. We’ll begin with copying modifiers.

Copying Modifiers
When you are working with effects and keyframes it can often be easier to
copy certain pieces of your effect to additional keyframes to speed the
process. Modifiers follow the same principle. Copying a modifier can be
done quickly and yields some great time saving benefits.

Modifiers can be copied within a slide, either between sets of keyframes, or
to the whole slide at once. Modifiers can also be copied to other settings on
the layer. First, let’s talk about how you copy a modifier.
