Changing the value of a property will change it for the entire film clip, **unless the graph editor (**[](https://wiki.pragma-engine.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-07/pragma-2022-07-17-15-57-14.png)**) is active**. If the graph editor is selected, a keyframe will be added at the current playhead position and the value will be **animated** instead. Some properties (like the model of an actor) are exempt from this, as they cannot be animated. Animated properties have a yellow outline around them: [](https://wiki.pragma-engine.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-07/pragma-2022-07-23-11-24-47.png) In this case the property will be unmodifiable (and appear greyed out) outside of the [graph editor](https://wiki.pragma-engine.com/books/pragma-filmmaker/page/graph-editor). If you're not in the graph editor, you can just click the property and you will be directed there.
You can right-click a property on the right-hand side which will give a list of several actions: - **Set To Default**: Resets the value to the original value. - **Remap Slider Range**: Allows you to change the min/max range of the slider. - **Copy to clipboard**: Copies the current value of the property to the clipboard. - **Set Expression**: Allows you to specify a [math expression ](https://wiki.pragma-engine.com/books/pragma-filmmaker/page/expressions-and-drivers)to change the effective value of the property. This will only work if the property is animated. - **Copy property path**: Copies the internal panima animation path to the clipboard. - **Clear Animation**: Clears all animation data for the property. #### Adding new Actors To add a new actor, you can use the [](https://wiki.pragma-engine.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-07/pragma-2022-07-17-12-59-15.png)-button at the top of the actor editor.If you want to add a model-based actor, you may want to use the [scene-drop feature](https://wiki.pragma-engine.com/books/pragma-filmmaker/page/model-catalog#bkmrk-scene-drop) of the [model catalog](https://wiki.pragma-engine.com/books/pragma-filmmaker/page/model-catalog) instead.
Here is a description of some of the available actor types: #### Static Props A static prop is a prop that isn't animated and will never move. While you can technically still move and animate static props, you should avoid doing so, as it can interfere with some sub-systems. Static props are also automatically included in [lightmap bakes](https://wiki.pragma-engine.com/books/pragma-filmmaker/page/pragma-renderer#bkmrk-lightmaps), which is another reason why they should not be moved or animated. If you wish to add a static prop to your scene, select `New prop` from the [](https://wiki.pragma-engine.com/uploads/images/gallery/2022-07/pragma-2022-07-17-12-59-15.png)-menu, which will create a model explorer window. You can double click a model and it will create a new static actor in front of the camera with the selected model. Alternatively you can also drag-and-drop models from the [model catalog ](https://wiki.pragma-engine.com/books/pragma-filmmaker/page/model-catalog)directly into the viewport to create static props more quickly. #### Dynamic Props Dynamic props are props that may be moved or animated, but don't have skeletal or facial (morph targets / flex controllers) animations. For instance, a soccer ball being kicked or a glass falling off a table. #### Articulated Actors Articulated actors can be animated whichever way you want. These should be used primarily for characters in the scene. #### Actor components You can add new components to an existing actor by right clicking the `Components`-item in the tree and selecting a component to add, however you should only do this if you know what you're doing or if a wiki article explicitly mentioned it. Many components are Engine-level components that are not intended for use in the Filmmaker, and can cause crashes or instability if added. **Handle with care!** ### Actions Right-clicking an actor in the actor editor gives you a list of actions. These are mostly the same as in the viewport window, you can find more information about them [here](https://wiki.pragma-engine.com/books/pragma-filmmaker/page/viewport#bkmrk-select). This is also where you can delete, rename or copy actors:
