Applying transitions and special effects

Fast Blur
Use the Fast Blur effect to specify how much to blur a clip. You can specify that the blur is horizontal, vertical, or both.
Fast Blur blurs areas more quickly than Gaussian Blur.
Gaussian Blur
The Gaussian Blur effect blurs and softens the clip and eliminates noise. You can specify that the blur is horizontal,
vertical, or both. (Gaussian refers to the bell-shaped curve that is generated by mapping the color values of the affected
pixels.)
Ghosting (Windows only)
The Ghosting effect overlays transparencies of the immediately preceding frames on the current frame. This effect can
be useful, for example, when you want to show the motion path of a moving object, such as a bouncing ball. Keyframes
cannot be applied to this effect.
Sharpen (Windows only)
The Sharpen effect increases the contrast where color changes occur.
Channel
Invert
The Invert (video) effect inverts the color information of a clip.
Channel
Specifies which channel or channels to invert. Each group of items operates in a particular color space, inverting either
the entire clip in that color space or just a single channel. RGB consists of three additive color channels: red, green, and
blue. HLS consists of three calculated color channels: hue, lightness, and saturation. YIQ is the NTSC luminance and
chrominance color space, where Y is the luminance signal, and I and Q are the in-phase and quadrature chrominance
signals. Alpha, not a color space, provides a way to invert the alpha channel of the clip.
Blend with Original
Combines the inverted clip with the original. You can apply a fade to the inverted clip.
