Adding Effects
click Modify. To modify a video effect that is applied to an entire clip, select the clip
and then click the Effect button above the timeline.
You can modify video effects in one of two modes:
Note: the type of modifications that are available in the Effect Settings
panel are completely dependent on the effect you selected.
Clip Mode: when the Effect Settings panel first opens, it displays in clip mode.
Any changes you make to the effect's settings are applied for the entire
duration of the effect. Use the available sliders and options to customize the
video effect to your preference.
Keyframe Mode*: some effects utilize keyframes to customize an effect's
settings. Keyframes are frames of your video that define the start and end
points of an effect, for example the intensity of an effect between two
keyframes. To customize an effect in keyframe mode, click the Keyframe
button in the Effect Settings panel. See Utilizing Keyframes on Media for
detailed information on using keyframes to customize effects in your
production.
Note: to remove an effect applied to an entire clip, deselect the effect name
in the Effect Settings panel when in Clip Mode. * optional feature in
