• For complex animations, we recommend placing a marker beforehand for orientation.
• In the Media Pool, open the "Effects" tab and click on the effect you would like to
animate under "Video effects" or "Movement effects".

menu.
• If necessary, set up the effect however you would like it for the start of the animation.
• There is a timeline in the lower section of the Media Pool. You can see here which
animated effects are applied to the selected object. Keyframes may be placed, selected,
moved, and deleted.
