Effect editing: Selected objects can be edited with the effects in the Media Pool.
The settings for each effect can be adjusted directly in the Media Pool. Most effects
can be controlled using keyframe animation and effect curves. The intensity of the
effect is controlled either dynamically with single points (keyframes) or drawn as a
curve (effect curve). All the buttons for keyframe and effect curve animation
corresponding to the selected effect can be found in the lower area of the Media Pool.
Note: A keyframe must first be selected before an effect curve can be activated.
Context menu: The context menu also offers a series of editing options for objects.
This dialog can be opened by right-clicking on an object. It offers advanced object
editing options, e. g. various trimming editors which enable an exact cut with different
transition parameters. For video objects there is a different context menu than the one
for audio and title objects.
Remove unusable scenes
One of the most important work steps during import of your footage is cutting out
unusable scenes from the material. There are two options for this:
Variant 1: The complete material is loaded into your project first and the unusable
scenes are cut out.
Variant 2: Cut the material prior to importing it, and then proceed to import only
the scenes you need. This process is recommended for long movies with a lot of
editing; it functions either via the Media Pool or the project folder.
