Adjust or reset controls in the Effect Controls panel

To change a property value, place the pointer over the underlined value, and drag to the left or right.

Click the property value, enter a new value, and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).

Expand the property by clicking the triangle next to the property name (if available), and then drag the slider or angle control (depending on the property).

To set an angle, drag inside the angle control area, scrub the underlined text, or select the underlined text and enter a value.

Once you have clicked inside the angle control, you can drag outside it to quickly change the values.

To set a color value using an Eyedropper tool, click the desired color anywhere on the computer screen. By default, the Eyedropper tool selects a one pixel area. Ctrl‑clicking (Windows) or Command-clicking (Mac OS) an Eyedropper tool samples a 5 x 5 pixel area.

To set a color value using the Adobe Color Picker, click the color swatch, select a color in the Adobe Color Picker dialog box, and then click OK.

To reset an effect’s properties to their default settings, click the Reset button  next to the effect. All properties that don’t contain keyframes are reset to their default values. If a property contains keyframes, that property is reset to the default at the current time only. Keyframes that occur at the current time are reset to the default value. If no keyframes occur at the current time, new keyframes are created using the default values.
