Introducing Effects
When you enter Effect mode, the Effect Editor appears. The Effect Editor
is a window that shows an effect-specific set of parameters corresponding
to the effect that was current when you entered Effect mode.
The Effect Editor organizes the effect parameters into groups. Each param-
eter represents a way to manipulate the image. In the previous figure, the
Horizontal Wipe transition effect has adjustable parameters within five
groups: Border, Blend Color, Profile, Foreground, and Acceleration.
When a parameter group is closed, you see only the triangular opener
and group name. Some parameters include a Fast menu with additional
choices. See “Working with Parameter Groups” later in this chapter for
details on using the parameter groups.
The Effect Preview Monitor
When you change a parameter value, the visual result is displayed in the
Effect Preview monitor (which, in Source/Record mode, is the Record
monitor). The Effect Preview monitor shows the effect image in the main
screen. Tick marks across the bottom position bar indicate the duration of
the effect. You have the ability to add keyframes in the position bar to ani-
mate the effect over time. (Keyframing will be covered later in this chapter.)
