KPT lovers,
When in time mode and using the Gradient designer as a filter you can get it to
appear on each frame by holding down the shift key before you start. (Shift or
Ctrl key one or the other).
This lets the Gradient designer dialogue appear before each and every frame and
lets you manually tweak the effect. You can rotate the gradient or even select
totally different ones.
The other filters respond to the combination of CTrl plus the number pad to
control strength. This doesnt respond over time however. You'd have to go
frame by frame to get that effect. Or try using the slider in the paint control
box (the opacity slider) over time. You can get some interesting time based
effects easily that way.

>> KPT lovers…
Mark, it appears that gradients and path-based effects in AAS are based upon
the bounding box of the selection (or brush stroke). In the case of an
animated brush stroke, the color may vary from frame to frame as the bounding
area grows. Is there any way to "lock" the size of an effect?
For instance, paint a squiggle over time with Filter ink. Use a KPT gradient
as your filter. During playback, as the stroke "paints" itself onto the
screen, previously painted portions change color. I'd like to lock down the
gradient…

David,
You probably have to fake it. Paint the Stroke on a single frame. Save it.
Use it as a Clone source, and then paint the stroke in time mode.
