Changing effect properties

Use the Effect Properties view to adjust effect properties. Open the Effect Properties view from the Effects view by

clicking the Edit Effects button (or by choosing Window > Properties).

The Effect Properties view includes a time ruler, a current-time indicator, zoom controls, controls for playing and

looping audio clips, and a keyframe navigator. Unlike the time ruler in Timeline view, the time ruler in the Effect

Properties view measures only a specific clip or transition. Click Show Keyframes to view the time ruler and the

keyframe area, where you can adjust how an effect changes over time.

In the Effect Properties view, you can view the entire length of a clip to which you apply an effect. Expand an effect

to display the controls you use to change its properties. Controls can include underlined values, sliders, effect point

icons, angle controls, menus, color swatches, the Eyedropper tool, and graphs.

Adjust effect properties

You adjust properties for all effects in the Effect Properties view, using either the Sceneline or the Timeline. You

can adjust Volume and Opacity effects in the Timeline as well.

Note: You adjust the Motion effect directly in the Monitor panel. Standard effects that allow direct manipulation of

clips in the Monitor panel include Corner Pin, Crop, Garbage Matte, Mirror, Transform, Twirl, and the GPU-based

Ripple (Circular) effect.
