horizontal, vertical, and nested.
Horizontal Effects
Horizontal effects are applied across individual video tracks. The three
types of horizontal effects are:
Transition effects: Applied at the transition point between two clips, often
to emphasize a change of time or theme. Transition effects include dis-
solves, fades, dips, wipes, pushes, squeezes, and spins.
Segment effects: Applied to entire clips within a sequence to change
the look of the video. Segment effects include color effects, masks, flops,
and resizes.
Motion effects: Applied to entire clips within a sequence or to source
clips to vary the frame rate or motion of the footage. (This book will not
discuss motion effects.)
Vertical Effects
Vertical effects layer multiple video tracks to create a composite, a combina-
tion of multiple video tracks that creates a single blended result. Examples
of basic vertical effects are picture-in-picture, titles, and superimposes.
Individual elements in a vertical effect can also contain horizontal effects.
