CLIPSTER Edit Tool User Guide
If you need an operator to be applied to a limited range of frames of a
clip only, you have to edit the clip with hard cuts beforehand because
the applied effects are valid for a whole timeline clip always.
The sequence of all added effects to a clip that are listed in the effects
list is important as well. They are applied top to bottom, i.e. the effect
at the top of the list will be applied first to the clip followed successively
by the rest of the added effects. This may be especially important when
applying the same effect type several times, because, for instance, in
case of a color correction, the bottom color correction will be applied to
the colors corrected by the top color correction(s). You can change the
sequence of the effects in the effects list easily via drag-and-drop. Sim-
ply select one effect and drag it to the desired position within the list.
An effect can be deleted from the effects list of a clip the same way you
delete a clip from the timeline. Just select the effect from the effects list
in the timeline element properties and press the key [Del] on your key-
board or select from its context menu the menu option Delete.
To apply the same effect settings to other clips in the timeline you can
either use the general items to the left of the timeline element proper-
ties area (see section “General Items of the Properties Area” on
page 7-3) or use preset effects as described in section “Effects” on
page 4-25 and section “Using Preset Effects in the Properties Area” on
page 7-14.
7.6.3 Using Preset Effects in the Properties Area
To apply the same effect settings of one clip to another the adjusted ef-
fect’s settings in the timeline element properties can be created as an
independent effect easily. Afterwards they can be applied to other clips
on the timeline without any problem.
Some operators may not be real-time capable. Clips modified
with such an operator will automatically be subject to a preren-
dering (see section “Prerendering of Timeline Elements” on
page 6-46).
When transferring settings to other clips in the timeline (e.g.
via the ’modify’ buttons), only the settings of the currently se-
lected operator are copied. In case you want to apply the set-
tings of another operator to clips in the timeline, you have to
select it in the effects list and perform the same procedure
again.
